Join As A CIC Officer

The Cadet Instructors Cadre (CIC) consists of specially trained part-time members of the Canadian Forces. CIC officers are responsible for cadet training, supervision, and administration.

CIC officers are important figures in the life of a cadet. Many CIC officers were once cadets themselves, but this is not a prerequisite. To become a CIC officer, a candidate must participate in a series of personal interviews and:

  • Have a high school diploma,
  • Be a Canadian citizen between the ages of 18 and 64 and be of good character
  • Recommended by the commanding officer, squadron sponsoring committee or provincial league.
  • Meet the medical standards prescribed
  • Pass a security screening, including an enhanced reliability check, criminal background investigation, and vulnerable sector screening.
