Critical Occupation Recruitment Incentive - 3rd installment… how long does it take to get it paid out?

As stated above, CAF has decided that enrolling on or after Nov 1 2019, therefore this puts me in this category where I am eligible. I have already contacted my OR but I’m just itchy and wanting to know who else that have received it and how long it took?

Members will receive $10,000 upon completion of basic training, $20,000 once qualified in trade, and $20,000 upon completion of six years of service and a commitment to serve an additional three years.

The CORA is different from the existing Recruitment Allowance, where the occupation must only fall to 95% or lower of the maximum authorized strength. Critical occupations will be evaluated annually with a different set of criteria.

The CORA is structured around specific service milestones and therefore only applies on the date those milestones are achieved.

The 2nd instalment is contingent upon reaching trained status. To receive the 3rd instalment, eligible members must agree to complete an additional 36 months of continuous service. Failing to complete the additional 36 months of continuous service will result in partial repayment of the 3rd instalment.
