Is it easy to get into the RCMP?
This can be challenging for some people. You may think it’s easy to come up with some experiences that will meet these competencies, but when it comes down to being asked the questions, more times than not the candidate just doesn’t have a good example ready.
How long does it take to be a RCMP officer?
This also depends on the police agency you apply at. The CPS states that their process takes between 3-6 months to complete. The RCMP doesn’t provide a set duration for the entire process; their cadet training takes 26 weeks. At the VPD, the recruit training alone takes up to 44 weeks in total.
Can you apply to RCMP with a criminal record?
Do not apply for an RCMP criminal record check unless instructed by IRCC. A criminal record check will determine if you have been charged or convicted of a crime. If a name-based criminal record check does not provide a definite way of confirming your identity, you may be asked to provide fingerprints.
What is the maximum age to join the RCMP?
While you can apply to the RCMP and go through the selection process and basic training at 18 years of age, you cannot be hired to work as a police officer until you are 19 years old. There is no maximum age limit to apply to the RCMP.
How hard is the RCMP test?
