It's not that hard, if a fat slug like me can do it with a month of practice anyone can do it. I wouldn't be able to do it today but if I knew I had to do it in a month I'm confident I could be ready. I've applied in the past a few times wanted to get in but tickets and a couple other things tripped me up in my one on one interview. I still had the panel interview, background check and polygraph so I was no where near close to getting in at that time.

The POPAT and PARE aren't hard either, I've done them both and did one of them a couple years back in my mid 30's and passed no problem, I'm probably 50 pounds heavier then I should be so take that as a gauge.

The written stuff (first step in the process) is very easy in my opinion. I actually think if I applied now I'd have a decent chance, doesn't hurt my wifes uncle does interviews and background checks for the RCMP but I don't know changing careers now seems crazy.
