I am a Permanent Resident who immigrated to Canada from Jamaica at the age of nine. Now, at 19, I am in the process of joining the Canadian Armed Forces. I initially expected my background check to take longer; however, my recruiter informed me that, due to my young age and lack of a criminal record in both Canada and my home country, the process should be relatively quick. This news is exciting, as I have aspired to pursue this career since I was about five years old.
