The Future isn't that far off

I emailed our recruiter last night to get the low-down on this 6-12 months gossip and this was his reply:

"We are slowly moving toward a policy that states couples need to be married for six months before their earliest date of departure. This has not been finalized and there is a high chance that it will be altered somewhat before becoming official. "

I guess everyone can take a deep breath and relax now. It seems as if recruiters seem to be on different pages-- or maybe the applicants are distorting the information. Either way, I'm going by the man's words above.

He also said this concerning the placement on couples:

"...Concerning priorities when placing couples, it is definitely taken into consideration how long a couple has been in the "system" when all Biodata are considered. You are competing now with couples that have been waiting for three, or even six, months. If you are not placed for spring 2006 (meaning June) you will have a stronger chance for placement in summer 2006 (July, August, and September)."

Well, that makes me feel safe.
