RCMP changes application requirements, with permanent residents welcome to apply
Among the changes taking effect today, applicants no longer have to pass physical abilities test in advance
The RCMP has changed its application requirements, with more people now eligible to apply to be a Mountie and some applicants not needing to take some of the previously mandatory tests.
Up until now, Mounties had to be Canadian citizens. But under the changes that took effect today, permanent residents who have lived in Canada for at least 10 years are eligible to apply.
The shift could only help the RCMP meet its target for 20 per cent of its ranks to be comprised of visible minorities.
