The Canadian Armed Forces has received more than 21,000 applications from permanent residents eager to join the chronically understaffed military full time β€” but CBC News has learned that less than 100 of them have made it into the regular force in the year since they were allowed to sign up.

It's one of the single biggest, if not the biggest, impediments to military recruitment right now. Someone really has to get it through to the people running the recruitment process that applicants can't just sit around for six months waiting to find out if they have a job. That ain't how shit works.
