and on page 8 or 9 if i remember correctly...do NOT stop!! there's another page you need to do!

2 tables of ppl stopped and when they looked around as to why ppl were flipping pages n clued in...it was time to move on.

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

i got the same email :) hopefully they set the test date relatively soon!

Border Services Officer Test

BSOT

incubus 02-16-2009 06:50 PM

alrite just making sure

for some reason i thought it meant online test lol

from wat im hearing its a pretty easy common sense test?

Selanne_200 02-18-2009 09:49 AM

Mmmm from what I've been researching, the failure rate on the test is pretty high tho. it's meant to filter out about 70% of the applicants.

incubus 02-18-2009 10:12 AM

hmm those 3 online questions on the application i left 2 blank asking wat ive learned in the past i put 0 :(

i hope i still get in

Has anyone applied but lacked the experience they require?
There are the 4 questions they are you about previous experience and I was wondering if anyone knows how heavily they weigh on it.
(I can only answer 2 of the 4)
