Hello,  
I am a navigation cadet and I have done the induction course. I have accumulated 29 DP sea days in Canada on a OSV. I am still a cadet, should I continue getting all my 60 days as a cadet while I can and why? Or should I wait to become an officer ?

You should put it off as long as possible. That way when a DPO job opportunity comes along there will be one less qualified candidate for me to compete against.
