flag Canadian Armed Forces faces 16,000-member shortage, introduces changes to recruitment process.

flag The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) is facing a severe personnel shortage of 16,000 members, impacting its operational capacity. flag To address this, the CAF introduced a probationary period for new recruits to better align with organizational values and aims to improve diversity. flag However, recruitment and retention issues persist, with inefficiencies in the process and strict physical standards deterring potential members. flag Unlike similar shortages in the UK and US militaries, the CAF has not yet implemented retention bonuses for key personnel.
