Information on this page will help you understand the application process to become an RCMP officer. If you're successful in the application process, you'll attend the RCMP Training Academy called Depot in Regina, Saskatchewan for 6 months. This is where you'll learn practical skills like defensive tactics, police driver training and firearms training. Upon graduation, you'll start your role in general duty policing at a location in Canada.
New applicants
If you're applying to the RCMP for the first time, it's important to decide if you've got what it takes to become an RCMP police officer. Understanding the entry requirements and the application process is the first step towards starting your career with the RCMP.
Returning applicants
If you applied to become a police officer of the RCMP in the past, you may be eligible to re-apply if you meet the following conditions:
- Your deferral period has passed. This deferral period would have been provided to you in your concluding letter. If no date was provided, you can re-apply 3 months from the date your file was concluded.
- You meet the RCMP's qualifications and requirements.
- You meet the vision and hearing standards and have obtained the 2 required medical assessments.
Failure to meet one of the above conditions could result in you being rejected from the recruitment process, and you will not be permitted to re-apply for an additional period of 6 months.
Once we receive your application, we will review it along with your previous application file. We will then contact you to advise you about your next steps.
