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.

I have a target in mind , instead of wasting 30 billion a year to go into the hole and making rich people richer why don't we make all Canadians who have lived here for 25 years , and are citizens , millionaires . So a million dollars for each person who meets the TARGET criteria for the cash and that will really stimulate the economy. Excluded from this are former and present provincial and federal politicians as well as anyone who believes their religion ahead of being Canadian.

If we are going to pretend that the federal government made these changes we should acknowledge that the Conservatives were in charge last summer......


Last summer, the RCMP exempted university graduates from taking the national police force's entrance exam. Now, people with a minimum two-year college diploma may also skip the exam, which tests a person's aptitude for police work.

Where in the post did Locutus blame the Trudeau government for these changes?

I don't see the issue with employing landed immigrants who have been here at least 10 years. They are legally entitled to work in Canada anyways.

I hate to sound like the uncompromising one here, but people who do not hold citizenship should not be employed by our police forces, armed forces or hold any government position.

Why don't the Libs insist on having a 20 per cent of its ranks in the Military comprise of visible minorities???

If they can do it with the RCMP why can't they do it with the Canadian Military??

I think we should bring in Conscription for all immigrants. You don't get citizenship unless one member of the family serves in our military!!!
The best Canadians are military trained, we badly need Canadians in our immigrants.

"Entitled to work in Canada" is a slippery LIE-beral slope! LIE-berals have so grossly eroded immigration standards that our next federal govt must seriously reconsider who is allowed into Canada and what level of involvement in our legal system might be considered safe and sensible for recent arrivals!

LIE-berals INSIST on seeing Cdns as "citizens of the world"- they describe Canada as a "post national state" which translates into "we have no national identity nor any right to claim sovereignty over Cdn land!

LIE-berals constantly tell us that any opponent of their policies is a "systemic racist and an "Islamophobe" but LIE-beral hypocrisy and shameless vote buying so LIE-berals can ling to power at any price have crippled the quality of LIE-beral debate!

LIE-beral multi cult values dictate that we MUST accept all citizens of the world as equals- regardless of their true political and military orientation!

Pierre Trudeau both wrote and spoke about the need to "destroy Cdn Imperialism" and his vile son Justin is continuing that hateful policy!

PIerre publicly told us that the war against Nazi Germany was "British Imperialism.

The entire Trudeau clan have made it clear they intend to social engineer Canada until the place is not just unrecognizable but actually hateful to our traditional allies and friends!

Its why Pierre Trudeau could heap fawning praise on Chinese Chairman Mao for "his genius in rushing 30 million Chinese to the gallows" during the "Great Leap Forward!

Its why Our idiot Boy Justin can tell us with a straight face that "he likes the way Chinese Communists get things done"!

Its why Sacha Trudeau can tell us that his beloved friend- the Cuban dictator Castro "was the greatest South American leader of the twentieth century"! And why our idiot Boy Justin will support Sacha about great family pal Castro!

Its why Our idiot Boy has restored funding to terror group Hamas and has removed Cdn fighter jets from the fight against Isis- he hates western civilization!

Its why Our idiot Boy has handed $10.5 million dollars to terror poster boy Omar Khadr and its why Our idiot Boy refuses to meet with or talk to the father of a Cdn soldier who died in Afghanistan about that award since Our idiot Boy is afraid of the questions the bereaved father might ask him!

Its why LIE-berals can blithely spend millions "rehabilitating" returning Isis fighters and allowing them to be a "powerful voice in Canada" - to use the Trudeau explanation- while at the same time LIE-berals can IGNORE the Afghan translator who worked with Cdn forces and who is now stuck in Kabul under a death sentence from Taliban!

LIE-beral hypocrisy is exposed ans is now blighting LIE-beral chances of being re-elected! The only people who now support LIE-berals are those who are civil service union Hogs getting a govt issued pay cheque!

So a 2 year diploma in basket weaving now qualifies you to be a cop....great!

I guess if it was undetected you would, being a candidate to be a cop, just admit it all thereby defeating your application to be a cop. :roll:

Maybe there is a new section designed to detect what was previously undetected....but they have yet to find anything. :lol:

I do not know this for sure but I would hazard a guess that the majority of Canadians who received the VC were not even Canadians by birth.

For instance, when you research enlistment in Ontario as opposed to enlistment in Quebec the discrepancy is largely due to the large number of British citizens in Ontario enlisting.

Well that's fitting considering the VC is a British medal, and the British Honours system.

The "Canadian VC" started only in 1993 and no one has won it yet.

The VC was dropped early in Pierre Elliot Trudeau's reign along with every other vestage of Canadian military tradition to be replaced by some sort of bureaucratese, manufactured, newspeak-inspired pap. Prior to that, many Canadians won the VC. We will be launching a new AOPS warship in a few years (if the government let's them build all six ... hardly ever happens) that is named after the last Canadian VC recipient ... Robert Hampton Gray.
