Recruitment process for someone born in another country

[KoB]

I'm 18 and planning on applying to the reserve force at some point within the next year or so, but I'm wondering how long he whole process will take.

Reason I ask is because while I'm a Canadian citizen and have lived here almost all my life, I was born in the UK. I heard that this will extend the process for a very long time with security clearance checks and such. Is this talking like a few extra weeks? Months? I've seen someone mention that a man from Russia waited years before he was contacted again. Just want to know if I'm wasting my time trying to get into the forces or if I'm better off trying to get into a civilian trade.

Thanks
