What does Enhanced reliability security clearance Credit check means you got this job and they want to do this check and they will sent even your resume to the government agency to check your workhist?

Answer 1

If you are residing in Canada go the the following website link: http://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/pubs_pol/gospubs/TB_J2/spmh1_e.asp or the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat web search. I will quote paragraph: enhanced reliability status is the type of personnel screening required when the duties or tasks of a position demand access to designated information or assets. This applies regardless of the duration of an assignment or appointment. An individual granted this status may have access to, on a need-to-know basis, designated information and assets. If you have had this done, it would include a criminal record check, name check, finger prints and or a credit check,etc. If not then you would have basic clearance. If you are in the CF then it may be different category as we also deal with Protected A,B, and C information, which is a different sub category on top of this clearance I believe. If you are in the U.S. then do a Google search and you should find a link to your local government website that will expain for your country what it means,etc. Hope this helps.

It is important to point out that basic clearance is something that as long as you are not a criminal and an honest human being, you will pass, but an enhanced security clearance is of a different sort. Having Dual Citizenship while it may be legal to have, you may lose your security clearance if you have excercised your other citizenship ie by voting or travelling on that passort regardless of the fact that it may be legal to do so. Another issue could be bad credit history. You may have lawfully bankrupted and you may have been an honest person who just got caught up in the housing bubble following a layoff. You can still get basic security clearance and even get a job as a security guard, but to get enhanced security clearance, you credit rating may have to be above 700. Even having no credit history can prevent you, which means that getting a enhanced security clearance job as your first experience is almost not possible, as you would have had to most likely work a steady job to establish a credit history.
