To be eligible for membership in the Royal Canadian Air Cadets a candidate must:
Have reached their 12th, but not 19th Birthday;
Be a Canadian Citizen or Landed Immigrant, or be an international student under the guardianship of a Canadian Citizen or Landed Immigrant;
Be acceptable to the Commanding Officer of the Squadron; and
Have parental or Guardian permission.
Cadets with physical or medical limitations may join Air Cadets, but may be excluded from certain activities, including Summer Training. The safety and well being of the cadet is the major consideration and determining factor.
Parents should be aware that if a cadet is not capable of attending weekend training exercises and/or summer training, the cadet may not be eligible for promotion, summer training or scholarship courses. This does not mean that a cadet cannot have a rewarding time at cadets, in spite of these limitations.
