sweet, thanks

My sister is a border services officer at YVR, and she also goes to school at SFU. They seem to be very accommodating with her schedule, and the pay is good. They actually reduced the requirement from having post-secondary to just completing HS due to the increased demand for officers. I don't know how it is now, but this was the case in the summer.

I think your sister is actually a student officer, so their requirements may be different.

A real full time officer position actually requires 2 years of post secondary to make the cut.

any info sessions in the next week that's in vancouver?

derek, did you get on with them yet?



m3thods, can you find out the pay rate from your sister? i heard it was like $12 for students, but i wanna confirm that.

For a uni undergrad, pay range is:

$11.67 - $18.76

Group interview coming up next Weds Jan 28, got the invite prolly not gonna go lol. Test seems pretty basic, they even email you a PDF sample lol

I thought there was another thread commenting re: CBSA border guys making $55k and ppl making a fuss about it?? Not bad for simple gov gig in this environment though, I know alot of fresh grads would line up for a $50k+ job!

is everyone applying online? i swear i dont really get it lol i think imma drop off a resume

I believe online is the only way to apply...

good luck getting a job there

Online is the only way you can apply Trance

TRD: nah, don't know yet? it takes them 4-6 weeks after the interview for them to get back to you.

anyone know how we should dress for da interview?????
THANKS

btw im a female.
jus wondering if any female here hv gone to da intervew :)

Can anyone confirm if this is correct? I heard that once you apply you get thrown in the middle of nowhere or wherever a spot is available.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, as I'd be quite interested in applying.

I think that's the RCMP.
Anyways all CBSA info can be found here

For the CBSA you can be pretty certain that you will remain in the lower main land. They are looking for 10,000 member for BC alone.

For the RCMP, there is a GUARANTEE that you will stay in the lower main land. Just ask your recruiter.

I just started the CBSA application process and there's a section that allows you to choose where you're willing to locate to, and where you'd like to work. Basically I selected Lower Mainland/Fraser Valley only. :D

Just wondering if anyone just recently applied??? I just got an email last week saying that I've met the prerequisite and I'll be contacted to do the BSOT. Just wondering if anyone's at the same stage as I am right now.

And wow, I didn't know they were hiring 10,000 in BC alone.

goodluck on the BSOT. bring a watch, you'll need it and remember time management is your friend.

Mmmm I don't know how long it'll be before I'll get a date tho. The application progress isn't closed until Mar 31, 2009.

What are the prerequisite requirements?

Is the process the same for secondary students? CBSA offer something for full time students if i'm not mistaken.

oh and will there be a drug test :D
