Hi guys,
I need your help and insights about my application.
Background: I am a PR from China landed in Canada back in early 2022, I appreciate the freedom that Canada gives me so I always want to pay back to this country that I love. So, I submitted my application once PRs were allowed to apply to join CAF in winter 2022.
However, that was how the waiting game began. In May 2022, I passed the interview and medical, and was told that as a PR from China, I need to pass the secret level secrurity clearance before getting enrolled. Then I conducted the security interview with CSIS in October 2023. then radio silence for more than one year.
At the beginning of 2025, a recruiter asked me if I still want to join CAF as ACSO or AEC, I said yes, then I was booked to do the CFAST in Trenton, and passed for both trades in June, then followed by interview and medical again.
Now seems like I entered the same deadlock as two years ago. As a PR from China, even though I have submitted my citizenship application, I still need to get pre-enrolment security clearnance before getting enrolled, in my case that is level 2, secret level clearance; or I need to get my Canadian citizenship which can waive the pre-enrolement security clearance.
my question is:
since the level 2 secret security has started almost for 24 months, is that possible to be done within 24 months? or it is possible to wait for longer?
thank you so much for your time!
