New applicants

If you're applying to the RCMP for the first time, it's important to determine if you are suited and ready to become an RCMP police officer.

Take the Readiness Check

Understanding the entry requirements and the application process is the first step towards starting your career with the RCMP.

All applications are submitted through the GC Jobs portal. You will need to create a GC Jobs account to complete your online application.

As part of your application, you'll answer screening questions based on the Basic Requirements. Be sure to review them carefully, and answer honestly, as your responses will determine whether you move forward in the recruitment process.

If your application is screened out at this step, you must wait 3 months before re-applying.

If you have questions about the application process, attend a recruiting event or contact a recruiter before submitting your online application.

Returning applicants

If you applied to become a police officer with the RCMP in the past, you may be eligible to re-apply if you meet the conditions:

• Your deferral period has passed. The deferral period is indicated in your closure letter. If no date was provided, you can re-apply 3 months from the date your file was concluded
• You still meet the RCMP's qualifications and requirements

If you don't meet one of these conditions, your application may be rejected. You won't be able to re-apply for 3 months.

After we receive your application, we'll review it along with your previous application file. We'll contact you to advise on next steps in the application process.
