Waiting on background check (?)

[cdnjarhead]

Good day,

I submitted an application last fall for direct entry officer, wrote the aptitude test, my file proceeded, then it was determined that I would require some background screening (due most likely to the fact I spent some time teaching English overseas and my wife's from there too), and I received an email containing 3 forms, indicating that I had to fill out two and that the third would be filled out during an interview following verification of the first two.

I was aware this security clearance pre-screening would be a part of my application process but just wondering how long this can typically take.

Thank you.
