OPPORTUNITIES
Canadian Military Colleges (CMC)
THE MISSION OF THE CMC IS TO PRODUCE WELL-ROUNDED
OFFICERS THROUGH UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC PROGRAMS,
TOGETHER WITH A RANGE OF COMPLEMENTARY PROGRAMS,
INCLUDING SPORTS AND SECOND LANGUAGE TRAINING.
WHAT IS THE ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE (RMC) SAINT-JEAN?
RMC Saint-Jean, in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, ensures officer cadets a seamless
transition from high school to university by providing college-level and first-year university
programmes in Engineering, Science, and Social Sciences and Humanities. Each program is
offered in your first official language for both the Preparatory Year and First Year.

PREPARATORY YEAR
Prep Year is equivalent to grade 12 in most provinces and to the first year of college-level
studies (CEGEP) in Quebec. The CEGEP program is the normal entry point into the CMC for
Quebec high-school graduates.

FIRST YEAR UNIVERSITY

This academic year provides the same university-level programs offered at the RMC Kingston,
Ontario. If you meet the requirements for First Year, you may choose to complete First Year
at RMC Saint-Jean without the need to attend Prep Year. After two years of study at RMC
Saint-Jean, you will receive a diploma of college studies (DCS) from the Quebec Department
of Education (if you’ve completed all the necessary requirements) and you will continue your
studies at RMC in Kingston.

DID YOU KNOW?

RMC Saint-Jean has the right to grant a Bachelor’s of Art in International Studies, helping
strengthen cross-cultural skills and further promote bilingualism within the CAF. This also
means that some Francophones will have the option to continue their studies in a Francophone
environment and Anglophones may choose to complete their studies completely immersed in
their second language while maintaining the right to take classes and exams in the language of
their choice.

PROGRAMS
REGULAR OFFICER TRAINING PLAN (ROTP)
ROTP

ROTP gives young Canadians an opportunity to obtain both an officer’s commission in the CAF
and an undergraduate degree. Candidates who have been accepted at either of our two Canadian
Military Colleges (CMC), or at another Canadian university, are enrolled in the CAF as officer
cadets. Most successful applicants will enter CMC system, however, if there are more qualified
candidates than the Military College system can accommodate, or your choice of program is not
offered, you can apply to an accredited program at a Canadian university. As an officer cadet
attending either of the CMC campuses or a civilian university, you’ll also receive an annual
salary of $26,000 (monthly room, board and mess fees will be deducted). If you attend a civilian
university you choose where you live and pay your own living expenses (usually out of your
salary). During the summer, all officer cadets receive military training, occupation training and
second language training at bases throughout the country. On successful completion of the ROTP,
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS

officer cadets receive an undergraduate degree in Engineering, Science or Arts and become fit,
bilingual, officers in the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army or Royal Canadian Air Force.

 LT CHARLOTTE N.

I am not from a military family, so needless to say, I was walking into the
unknown when I first showed up to the Royal Military College in 2014.
Luckily I soon found out I wasn’t alone in this feeling. With 200 new
students filling in from across the country, it was clear none of us really
knew what waited for us just beyond the arches.

The First Year Orientation Program (FYOP) was challenging, but ultimately
forged 12 teams out of the Class of 2018, and as classes kicked off in
September, friendships were formed and lifelong memories began to be
made. Throughout my four years at the College, I had the absolute pleasure
of getting to know the majority of my graduating class, not just through
academics, but also through the other three pillars: French studies, sports
and military training. Being an RMC cadet means you’re always busy, and
always being challenged. Early mornings and late nights made for a long
4 years, but it was worth every minute. You learn to manage your time,
manage your expectations, lean on your teammates when you need to, and
help others when they need it. You really are all in it together.

After I completed my third year of studies, I went on my first phase of

training to be an Artillery Officer at the Royal Canadian Artillery School
(RCAS) in Gagetown, New Brunswick. I had no idea what to expect going
into it. 10 weeks of training later and I was on my way back to the College
for my last year, completely committed to my trade. Despite having
technically been an Artillery Officer from enrolment, I had never had any
experience with the trade until I completed my first summer of artillery
training in 2017. It’s a technical trade, and certainly is geared towards those
that are technically minded, but it also lends itself to those who have an
interest in understanding the combined arms battle. While having completed
10 weeks of training in 2017, I still had 10 more weeks of training after
graduation before being a fully qualified troop commander.

In the fall of 2018, 4 months post-graduation, I was posted to the 2nd

Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery (2RCHA) as a Troop Commander,
where I had the opportunity to learn about the three different streams
that an Artillery Officer has available to them. While many people are
aware of the Forward Observation Officer’s (FOO) role in the battle-space,
Surveillance and Target Acquisition as well as Air-Defense are also
branches of the Artillery Corps.

My time at Regiment has not been unlike my time at RMC. I am challenged

and forced to work outside my comfort zone oftentimes with new groups
of people. New opportunities constantly come up, whether it be to teach on
a course, to work through new technologies being introduced to the trade
or to work on tasking outside to the Regiment altogether. Regardless of
what I am doing on any given day, I am surrounded by peers, superiors and
subordinates who care as deeply as I do for the job, and support me along
the way. RMC and the CAF as a whole indoctrinate you as one of their own.
It is fair to say that I now have found a new family within the Military.

PROGRAMS
CONTINUING EDUCATION OFFICER TRAINING PLAN (CEOTP)
C EOTP

This is a unique officer-only entry plan into the CAF. The CAF requires that all officers obtain a
university degree. While most will either enroll with a degree or enter a paid university program,
CEOTP allows candidates to enter as officers with a contractual agreement that they will obtain a
degree normally during off duty hours either through part-time or distance learning before the end
of the time period of their initial engagement to serve in the CAF. The CAF only opens this entry
pathway in order to meet operational needs as required. Therefore, not all occupations will offer
this entry option, there is normally a small number of occupation vacancies, and these change
from year to year. Talk to a recruiter now to find out more.

AIR ENVIRONMENTAL AFFILIATED DEGREE PROGRAM

If you wish to become a pilot in the CAF, the Royal Canadian Air Force in partnership with Seneca
College, has created a specialized combined degree and pilot training program within the CEOTP
umbrella that enables you to obtain a Bachelor of Aviation Technology and your Pilot’s Wings,
in four years. You will still receive a salary, medical and dental care, and paid vacation. In
exchange, you will serve as a pilot with the CAF for seven years. To apply for this combined
degree and pilot training program, select “CEOTP –Pilot” when filling out the online application.
SPECIALTY PROGRAMS

SUBSIDIZED EDUCATION FOR ENTRY LEVEL MASTERS (SEELM)

SEELM

If you wish to become a Social Work Officer or Chaplain for the CAF, you can apply for Subsidized
Education for Entry Level Masters (SEELM). Just like any other paid education program in the
CAF, you will receive a salary, medical and dental care, and paid time off and, in exchange, you
will need to complete two months of service for each month of paid education following the
completion of your studies.

SOCIAL WORKER
If you have a Bachelor of Social Work degree from a recognized Canadian university, we will pay
you to complete a Master of Social Work program at a Canadian university.

QUALIFICATIONS
To apply, you must have been accepted without condition to a graduate program in social work
at an accredited Canadian university recognized by the CAF.

 CAPTAIN ANGELA R.
SOCIAL WORK OFFICER
I completed my Master of Social Work Degree in 1997. Over the 13 years that followed,
I worked in various social worker positions including treatment, child protection,
school social work and medical social work. Though I enjoyed my various employment
opportunities, there was something missing. One day I realized that I did not want to
show up at the same office for the next 20 years.

It was around the same time as the earthquakes in Haiti and the operations the
Canadian Armed Forces were doing in Afghanistan. I made a decision that I wanted
to provide mental health services to members of the CAF and serve my country while
I was young enough. I figured that the civilian jobs would still be there after I served,
while I could not serve after I retire from a civilian job. I made the right choice.

CHAPLAIN
If you have a Bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognized Canadian university, the
CAF will pay you to complete a Graduate professional degree in ministry formation (MDiv or
equivalent) at a Canadian university.

QUALIFICATIONS
To apply, you must have been accepted without condition to a graduate professional degree in
ministry formation at an accredited Canadian university recognized by the CAF.

DENTAL OFFICER TRAINING PLAN (DOTP) — BECOME A DENTIST

DO T P

If you wish to become a Dental Officer (dentist), you can apply for paid education through the
DOTP.

Because this position requires a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree, we will pay you to
complete your program at a Canadian university.

If you are already enrolled in a dental program you are also eligible for the DOTP. If accepted,
you will receive a salary, benefits and paid time off for the rest of your studies. You will
continue to attend university during the regular academic year and participate in military training
during the summer months.

QUALIFICATIONS
To be eligible for DOTP, you must have been accepted without conditions to both the CAF and at
a Canadian university that offers a dentistry program.

the CAF made it possible for me to attend
medical school and make a difference in
the world. From caring for CAF members
in the military clinic to providing health
screening for refugees and deploying
overseas, I know that I am doing my part
to help make the world a better place;
and I couldn’t be more proud.

IF YOU WISH TO WORK AS AN EXPERT IN YOUR FIELD,
YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER ENROLLING IN THE NCMSTEP.
The NCMSTEP is a competitive application process. An applicant may be a:
1. civilian, with or without prior Canadian Armed Forces (CAF)
service;
2. Non-Commissioned Member (NCM) in the Regular Force or the
Reserve Force.

PROGRAM INTENT
The CAF offers full-time subsidized training or education at Canadian colleges, universities and
other post-secondary establishments for authorized courses of study related to NCM military
occupations. This program allows NCMs to attain the knowledge and skills they need to perform
demanding tasks in diverse environments, as well as optimize their professional development.

APPLICANT ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

An applicant must:
1. be a Canadian citizen;
2. be capable of meeting the minimum operational standards, including successful
completion of the applicable CAF physical fitness test; and
3. provide a letter of unconditional acceptance into an authorized NCMSTEP course of study
from an approved education establishment. (Reference table on page 33)

20 - NON-COMMISSIONED MEMBER SUBSIDIZED TRAINING AND EDUCATION PLAN (NCMSTEP)

MILITARY TRAINING
NCM personnel must normally attain the Basic Military Qualification (BMQ) prior to commencing
full-time subsidized studies under the NCMSTEP. Attendance may be authorized for BMQ training
at the end of the first subsidized academic year for those who enroll during an academic year
or have scheduling conflicts that cannot be reconciled. Participants will pursue military training
during the summer periods or academic breaks.

PERIOD OF SUBSIDIZED TRAINING OR EDUCATION

While in receipt of pay and allowances, the participant:
• is only subsidized for that period of time required to complete an authorized course of
study, up to a maximum of four years;
• must be registered as a full-time student, follow the number of courses required
in each semester, as set out in the curriculum for that course of study,
to progress normally to the next academic year.

SAILOR 3rd CLASS SCOTT T.
I joined the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) through the NCMSTEP.
This has provided me with a worry free education and a
guaranteed job as a Marine Technician. The NCMSTEP provides
an opportunity for world-class training and education
without any financial drawbacks. My tuition, books, and
required supplies are paid for plus an allowance to purchase
small things like pencils and notebooks, all while providing
a competitive full time salary and benefits. I greatly look
forward to continuing my studies and serving a long fulfilling
career with the RCN.

KEVIN D.
Enrolling in the NCMSTEP was a great way
to get on my feet after high school, earning
a salary while achieving a post-secondary
education. The knowledge I gained during
my time at college is used every day to
maintain and repair combat systems. The
greatest part of my job is the satisfaction I
get when I repair equipment allowing my unit
to continue its operations. Whether serving on
humanitarian missions, community outreach
programs, or while on NATO peacekeeping
operations, you form lifetime friendships with
your shipmates. Thanks to the benefits the
CAF offers, combined with the limitless career
