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.
