Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Reserve Force do?
The primary role of the Reserve Force is to augment, sustain, and support the Regular Force at home and abroad.
Where will I work?
Reservists train and work close to home. Reserve Force units are located in hundreds of communities across Canada. They are not obliged to serve overseas, but many choose to do so. Currently, over 400 reserve personnel are serving on peacekeeping and humanitarian missions around the world. In the past, up to 40 per cent of all peacekeepers have been reservists.

Deployments can last a few days or weeks when responding to a disaster such as the earthquake in Haiti, or up to six months as part of a long-term commitment such as the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan.
How long will I have to serve?
Service in the Reserve Force is voluntary and is for an undefined period. Most Reservists are enrolled to serve on a part-time basis and have full-time careers outside the Canadian Forces or are full-time students, but some volunteer for full time employment in the military. This employment is normally under a specified contract period of 3 years or less.
Am I paid for my time?
Yes. Your pay as a Reservist is based on your occupation and rank and on the number of hours you work – either a half day or full day. View the links in the “Pay and Ranks” paragraph on this page, or visit http://www.forces.ca/en/page/payscales-131 for more information.
