However, if you decide to join the Primary Reserve Force, you will do so through a specific Reserve unit. Outside of training, your chosen Reserve unit will be your workplace on a part time basis, and you will not be obligated to relocate to a different base. As part of the Primary Reserve Force, you typically work one night per week and some weekends as a minimum with possibilities of full-time employment.</span></p><p><span> </span></p><p><strong><span>Basic Military Qualification</span></strong></p><p><span>The first stage of training is the Basic Military Qualification course, or Basic Training, held at the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Québec, or through various training establishments across Canada from Esquimalt, British Columbia, to Halifax, Nova Scotia.

One main goal of this course is to ensure all recruits maintain the CAF physical fitness standard; as a result, the training is physically demanding but achievable.</span></p><p><strong><span> </span></strong></p><p><strong><span>Basic Occupational Qualification Training</span></strong></p><p><span>Refrigeration and Mechanical Techni- LocationOttawa, ON
