Check if you qualify to join the Royal Canadian Mounted Police

Join Canada's Finest

Discover if you have what it takes to serve and protect as a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Our comprehensive assessment evaluates your eligibility across all key requirements in just a few minutes.

The RCMP Eligibility Checker provides a preliminary assessment based on publicly available Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) requirements. This RCMP eligibility tool is designed to help applicants better understand their potential qualifications before starting the official RCMP application process. Final eligibility is determined by the RCMP during the formal recruitment process. Learn more about the RCMP Eligibility Requirements, RCMP Application Process, and RCMP Fitness Standards, or visit joinrcmp.ca.

JoinRCMP.ca exists to help Canadians navigate one of the most important career decisions of their lives. Our editorial team cuts through the complexity of the RCMP application process — from eligibility checks and fitness testing to Depot training and final preparation — so every aspiring officer can move forward with confidence.

Our guidance draws exclusively from official RCMP documentation and Government of Canada publications.

Start at the beginning: check your eligibility and explore your entry route — civilian, Indigenous, or public-service entry.

Follow detailed guides through every stage: online testing, fitness standards, medical, assessment centres, suitability interviews, and the 26-week Cadet Training Program at RCMP Depot Division in Regina.

JoinRCMP.ca has been helping Canadians navigate RCMP recruitment since 2020. Here is what sets our guidance apart:

• Official sources only: Every guide is built from official RCMP documentation, Government of Canada publications, RCMP Gazette articles, and Depot Division documentation.

• Regularly updated: Our team reviews content whenever RCMP recruitment policy changes — including updates aligned with the RCMP National Recruitment Strategy 2026–2029.

• Transparent editorial standards: All content follows our published Editorial Policy, which explains exactly how we research, verify, and maintain every article.

• Verified by real users: Independently reviewed on Google maps by applicants across Canada.

Our team repeatedly saw gaps in the public’s understanding of what it really takes to join the RCMP. Whether you’re just starting to explore your options or preparing for a final-stage offer, it’s common to feel overwhelmed by incomplete, outdated, or scattered information. Our content fills those gaps by translating complex requirements into simple, digestible steps.

We’re especially committed to making this path accessible and transparent for applicants from under-represented communities, regional areas, and first-generation applicants without a policing background in their family.
