What school are you currently attending? I have a pamphlet to become a BSO somewhere.. I'll take a look for it and see if it's all that useful.. There was recently a booth at SFU with information about doing a co-op for it.

apply online, simple as that. check the federal website regularly. I know 2 guys that just got the job, but prepare to wait it out. it's a lengthy process when it comes to testing. the gov't is slow.

Ya, it does take a while. When I did it, it took them like a few months to let me know when the exam date was and then waiting for the results then scheduling a interview.
I usually get emails about the info session from my school, so i'll post it if i hear anything.

from the day you apply online to the day they call you back to confirm you got the job after all the testing/interviews is approx 6-10 months from what I gather from close friends and relatives that have went through the process...

Step 1: Apply Online
2: Get e-mail for written exam and go write the exam (usually in Richmond's Best Western)
3: If you passed, you'll get an e-mail for an interview at the YVR airport
4: If you passed, you need to get your First Aid and Firearms certifications
5: When you get your certifications, you wait to get sent off to training in Quebec
6: If you passed training, you're offered a job somewhere you specified
Training in Quebec offers a small allowance but not very much but I believe food and lodging is provided so nothing to really spend on. The process is long and slow so don't expect to get a job right away.

CBSA is the new name for the former CCRA.
the process is not too slow. after u get past the intial 3 hoops, u may or may not get rigaud right away. in that case, you'll get trained at yvr most likely until spots open up.
the catch is if u fail rigaud, officer powers, etc u lose the job.

Should be a bit faster as long as the clearance is still up-to-date.

The pay is pretty good though, $50,000/yr? Isn't the job pretty slack too where you just sit there and look at passport and ask q's?
