Canada (well, Ontario Provincial Police at least) is similar. My brother had a 4 year degree in Criminology and Kinesiology, 7 years+ as a Canadian Armed Forces reservist (including running courses at the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston) and he didn't get through at least his first application. It definitely varies.
