Thanks DAA, so i dropped by the other day at CFRC-Ottawa to follow-up my application. Because I lived outside Canada within the 10 years, I was told they need to perform a Security Clearance Pre-assessment. The file manager said I have to wait may be 2-6 months, I'm hoping it wouldn't take that long. Hope it helps with some guys who are wondering regarding their application.

Check your Junk Mail/SPAM Folders "online" and it could very well be sitting there.

You're currently subject to the initial aspects of the "Pre-Assessment" and this is where they review the information you provided and decide whether or not you need a "full" Pre-Sec done.  The initial Pre-Assessment takes 2-3 weeks but if they indicate that a full Pre-Assessment is required, then that portion can take anywhere from 2-18 months depending on the countries involved.

Good luck and check back with your CFRC in about 3 weeks for an update.

Thank you for the timely advice  DAA! I already have my calendar marked. But in my opinion they wouldn't need to do the full pre-sec, because in my application my previous country is one of the allies of Canada plus I do not have any immediate family outside Canada and no criminal charges at all.

But still who knows, we'll see how fast/SLOW they process it. I will update this in 3-4 weeks or if I receive any update sooner.

The Sergeant at CRFC Hamilton told me back in October last year that I'll have to email him in April this year to re-open my application.

I'm thrilled to say the long wait is over and I have accepted an offer for Vehicle Tech!

The whole process took about 8 months from start to finish. There were gaps in time where it felt like nothing was happening, this is normal, if you are in the same position that I was in just keep phoning in every couple of weeks or month or so and politely speak with the recruiters and ask them what step your application is at.
