Thanks a lot for your reply, 楚天. FYI, I became a Canadian earlier this year. Please advice me the possiblity of getting Secret level clearance. I don't have any problem with my past.

I am unable to answer your question in an explicit term. It is really case by case. For high level clearance, "no any problem in the past" is a good indication but it is not the only criterion. Your loyalty or family connection may also fall within the scope of issues that they need to justify. For example, the fact that one is the child of a high rank military officer in a foreign country may cast doubt for the authority to clear the person.

Nonetheless, if they have enough information (it may take quite some time as you have been resident in many nations) and are convinced that you would not reasonably be expected to cause serious injury (for Level II) to the national interest, you will be cleared.

If you are the first generation immigrant, there is no way they can check your families upward. As long as you came to Canada as a student, no Criminal record, and never bothered by the police, you would be fine. It took over 7 months for me to get mine check out. Good luck!

可能你的密级还不到，呵呵

You would not say that if you understand that the level of your security depends on your position requirement, not upon your own selection. You might hear too much rumor in this regard.

呵呵，不要自以为是的好

Security Clearance

If you feel unhappy with the manager's treatment and quit it within two weeks, Could you still pass the entry security clearance?

It has nothing to do with a specific manager at all.

Thanks, but I am still confused. If the government go to your previous company to check your performance and why you leave the company. I think the personel will let your previous manager to answer it. And the manager will may say some negative...

A NATO clearance of COSMIC TOP SECRET and a Canadian clearance of TOP SECRET (Level III) are valid for a five year period only.

NATO SECRET, NATO CONFIDENTIAL and Canadian SECRET (Level II) and CONFIDENTIAL (Level I) are valid for a ten year period from the date of issue unless rescinded for cause,

and will terminate when:

1. the individual leaves the employ of the organization on whose behalf the security clearance was granted;

2. the individual is transferred to another position where access to CLASSIFIED information, assets or sites is not required; or

3. the organization's Facility Security Clearance lapses or is cancelled.

An entry level security clearance should be good for employment at different organizations requiring the same level. No need to reapply.

As the term suggests, Security Clearance has nothing to do with your performance.

It is an AnJian, not a reference letter.

Thanks again.

What does "AnJian" mean? What will they check Security Clearance with your previous employers? Your credit? ....

In other words, it is something like "ZhengShen" in China. Canada has to make sure that you will post no risk or harm to the country's national security.

Oh, I understand now. Thank you very, very much.
