Got deferred for 3 years, you know anybody that made it to depot with a long defferal.

Is there a way to skip provincial policing and enter straight into federal based on previous work experience?

Hello, I was persuaded by some very nice police officers in January to become a cop, I just started learning everything in January but I still have questions.

First of all, I was originally looking at my local municipality but it seems to be the most competitive in the area so I've decided to branch out as well. I've heard the pension is different but can't seem to find the information on it. Does anybody know if municipal and RCMP are on the same pension plan? Does anybody know what the main differences are between the departments? I figure day to day might be similar but what are some key points you think might make me decide one over the other?

Also for JI, I've been a fairly active person in my adult life but have only recently been focusing on cardio (since January). I know this program will be quite cardio intensive but would anybody be able to break down what the average week of exercise will look like at JI? I don't want to apply until I am a competitive candidate and want to make sure I'm not the weakest link if I'm to make it through.

Thank you so much in advance!

can anyone give an honest answer on how hard it really is, have you seen people get sent home for it?

Hello, so I'm 28 years old and am going to apply soon. My one concern is the entrance exam.

Mathematics is not my strong suite - I've done a few free practice exams and was only able to answer 14 of 28 questions with a 2 minute timer. They were all correct I just take way too long.

Also, business reasoning, spatial awareness and memory scores weren't anything to write home about either.

Do you guys know of/used any online prep guides that helped out? Its been a decade since I've been in school and really want to do well on the exam.

I appreciate any leads!
