PRESEC waiting time ?

[zooropa]

Hey Guys - Hope anyone had some similar experience to share.

I applied as an officer - but for some reason I was working overseas for a 1.5 years + my parents are living overseas + I immigrated over 10 years ago from a non Nato country, my PRESEC application will be processed longer than average  :crybaby:.

I already have a Gov. Reliability clearance and did pass the CFAT - but was told to wait till the PRESEC comes in.

I thought for the fact I have a Gov. clearance that things would be faster  ^-^ - and one recruiter confirmed so. Another recruiter told me that the army will do its own reliability/ background checks and it would take time ( 6 - 18 months).

Plus is it normal to take the CFAT before screening you?

Any comments anybody?

As people have told me on this board before...there are no freebies and no shortcuts to take.  Everyone waits and everybody is at the mercy of ottawa for thier clearances.  If you look around there are plenty of folks who have waited a long time(up to 4 years if i remember the post correctly) especially if they have spent time overseas or were born outside of the country.  I was born and raised here and had a rcmp access clearance done last year for work (civvie) still gotta wait for thier paperwork to come in.

Good luck and have patience
