Secret security clearance
Hi
I'm currently applying for work in Canada after recently receiving pr and noticed that a few jobs say I must be able to pass secret security clearance. How do I know if I can pass this? Can I apply for these roles? Can they even do a sufficient check on me if all of my history is in the UK?

Perhaps your grandfather was and still is a Chinese undercover operative.

Thanks that's great to know. I assumed I couldn't apply for those jobs.

Tut tut you're not meant to divulge if you have security clearance. I can't divulge why I know this
