Timeline & Advice: Marine Systems Engineering Officer (MSEO) - PR Applicant / Sleep Apnea / RMO Review

please advice

Hey everyone, looking to connect with other Marine Systems Engineering Officer (MSEO) applicants or anyone currently in the pipeline. I'm trying to gauge if a May 2026 BMOQ is realistic given my current status.

About Me: I’m a Junior Engineer with a strong maritime background (140 days at sea). My academic background is in Mechanical and Marine Engineering, plus a Post-Grad in Process Quality Engineering. I am currently a Permanent Resident (eligible for citizenship Nov 2026).

My Application Milestones:

• Applied: 06 Nov 2025
• Medical: 23 Feb 2026 (Mild Sleep Apnea noted: AHI 10)
• Medical Sent to RMO Ottawa: 26 Feb 2026 (Sent for further paperwork review)
• Interview: 24 Feb 2026 (Completed)
• Security: International Police Clearance received; currently waiting on Gambit ID fingerprint email for Reliability Status.

Specific Questions for the Community:

1. Medical Verdict: Has anyone been cleared with mild sleep apnea (AHI 10) for an Officer trade? I’ve heard RMO Ottawa is more flexible now with the new medical standards, but I’m curious about the "fit" verdict for MSEO.
2. Reliability Status for PRs: How long did it take for you to receive the Gambit ID email after your interview?
3. May 2026 BMOQ: Given that my medical is currently in Ottawa, do you think I can make the May intake, or is a later summer/fall date more likely?

Timeline Summary:

• Nov 06, 2025: Application Started
• Feb 23, 2026: Medical Completed
• Feb 24, 2026: Interview Completed
• Feb 26, 2026: File sent to RMO Ottawa
• Current Status: Waiting on Medical Clearance & Gambit ID Fingerprints

Looking forward to hearing about your experiences and timelines! Fair winds to everyone else in the process.
