We all adjust differently to major life changes. For you and your family, the transition to post-service life means big changes, and sometimes challenges. It is a unique experience.

FrançaisLeaving the military is typically a big change for you and your family. Schedule a transition interview to learn how we can help you make a successful move to civilian life.
The first step in helping you get ready to leave the military is our transition interview. We recommend that you have a transition interview early in your release process to help you and your family identify any needs you may have ahead of time.
At the transition interview, you will learn about the right services and benefits for you and your family. We will also answer any questions you have about your transition to post-service life.
Transition interviews are available to all CAF members (regular and reserve) who have started, or are planning to start the release process.
We suggest you schedule an interview as early as possible in your release process. Your family is also encouraged to attend, if possible.
The staff at any VAC office or Transition Centre can assist you or call us at 1-866-522-2122 to schedule an interview.
During a transition interview, we will be able to provide information on programs and services available to you and your family including:
Case management – A case manager can help you get the right programs and services for you and your family.
Veteran Family Program - If you're medically releasing or released, find help and advice during transition to post-military life.
Transition: Every path is different – Benefits and services for members, Veterans and their families every step of the way.
Your family is among the best support you will have as you transition from military service. It is strongly recommended that your family attend the transition interview, but it is not mandatory.
We recommend that you have your transition interview as early as possible during your transition. However, if you feel a transition interview could be helpful, contact us and we may be able to provide one to you.
