Use this tool to find Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps, Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, or Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadrons close to you. We invite prospective cadets to register with or transfer to us in September 2024 for the subsequent training year.
808 Coquitlam Squadron accepts applications for new cadets from September until December of each year, or until we reach capacity. Since our programme runs very similarly to a regular school year, it is suggested that all new recruits join in September. Any application after December is generally deferred to the following year.
The following is a list of requirements you must meet to be eligible to join air cadets:
- be a legal resident of Canada (NOTE: A legal resident of Canada is a Canadian citizen, a landed immigrant, or, the dependant of a person who is lawfully resident in Canada on a temporary basis for the purpose of education or employment)
- provide proof of provincial health insurance coverage or equivalent;
- be at least 12 years of age, and not have attained 19 years of age;
- normally be in good physical condition;
