The Canadian Armed Forces says it has received hundreds of applications from permanent residents interested in joining the military.
Chief of the defence staff Gen. Wayne Eyre officially opened the military’s doors to all permanent residents in October, in direct response to an unprecedented personnel crisis that has left the Armed Forces scrambling for new recruits.As the Canadian national soccer teams head to their respective FIFA World Cups, Derek Van Diest is on the scene to cover all the action.
“I’ll be honest with you, it has been a bit of a surprise to us as to how much uptake the permanent resident initiative has taken,” said Col. Nick Roby. “And we are obviously super excited about the opportunity.”tap here to see other videos from our teamThe number is especially notable when considering the military received about 4,000 applications over the same period from Canadian citizens.
Roby said the wait for permanent residents is expected to be even longer given that many of them have lived outside Canada for long periods of time, which adds more complexity to verifying their backgrounds. The military has been dealing with an unprecedented personnel crisis that has included successive shortfalls in recent years when it comes to adding new recruits.
That shortfall is expected to exacerbate the current personnel shortage. About one in 10 of the military’s 100,000 positions is currently unfilled, which senior leaders say is affecting their ability to conduct operations at home and around the world.Article content
