How long does the entire recruitment process take?
Because the Service follows a stringent recruitment process, it can take between six months to more than one year to complete. The recruiting process includes an information session, a personal suitability interview, second-language testing, psychological testing and an interview, a National Assessment Panel interview, an executive interview, and a final file review. The security clearance process can take from four to ten months to be completed. This process includes a security interview, a polygraph examination, and a background investigation.
