@appolosungod1

You also must:

* be at least 17 years old (16 years old to apply to the Reserves, with parents’ permission).

* meet the minimum educational requirement for your occupation of choice. Have a minimum grade 10 or Secondary III (Quebec) education for combat arms occupations up to a university degree for Direct Entry officer plan.

* meet all medical and enrollment standards.

* successfully complete the pre-enrollment aptitude test.

Were do many of the recruits go after basic? ive heard about 2nd language training and other courses related to which force they chose?

[CanadianArmyNews]

@gareth7blogs If you complete BMQ, you must then complete environmental training. If you have selected an Army occupation, you will go to a Military Training Centre for the 10-week Soldier Qualification (SQ) course. There are several training centres across the country. Where you conduct the SQ will likely depend on where you will conduct occupation training. The course length depends on your occupation choice.
