The new security clearance rules will help, but it sounds like the team doing clearances is overwhelmed, the joke is it's 1 guy in Ottawa doing it and that's why it's so slow. Reality is that team probably needs more resources allocated to it.

Unknown if true but allegedly CSIS does all secret clearances and CAF applicants are low priority for whatever reason. This is why little can be done on the CAF side without governmental orders.

Sounds like the management consultants might be along soon to help out

I've also heard that for PR candidates CSIS and CBSA are pointing fingers at each other over who does the out of country clearance check
