Completing Required Forms and Tests
Complete the reliability screening forms. Screening forms ensure you are trustworthy to handle sensitive government information and equipment. Fill out the forms honestly and completely. With these forms, provide non-family references and disclose any legal obligations (such as parole, student loans, or large debts).
You may be requested to provide fingerprints as well.
The Canadian Government will check the validity of your responses.
Fill out a clearance pre-assessment about where you lived abroad. You will also receive this assessment and instructions via email. Review the email, and gather any official documents requested in the email. Once you complete the assessment and have all the documents needed, mail them back to the Canadian Armed Forces.
The email will also provide you with an address to mail in your documents.
Required documents may include copies of your passport, birth certificate, and visas. The Canadian Government may have you send additional documents if you have immediate family members living outside of Canada.
The entire process can take between 6-18 months, depending on how long it takes to retrieve documents from your home country’s security forces.
