Prospective candidates interested in joining the military can now expect an expedited process. If their cultural perspectives post-enrolment do not align with the organization’s established values, however, they could be shown the door in short order.

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) launched its new process to speed up recruiting on Dec. 31, which includes the implementation of a probationary period for newly joined members. The CAF announced the change by way of an official “CANFORGEN” message on Jan. 7.
