00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.340
Welcome to our recording on completing the
References, Employment,

00:00:03.420 --> 00:00:07.960
and Education History task. You should
have received your link to this video in

00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:11.880
an email that is addressed to you with the
title, Canadian Armed Forces,

00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:17.140
D&D Pre-Employment Screening. If you were
sent a link to this recording,

00:00:17.340 --> 00:00:21.020
but do not have the References,
Employment, and Education History task on

00:00:21.020 --> 00:00:25.400
your dashboard, contact your recruiting
center. They will confirm if you need to

00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:30.380
complete this task. The References,
Employment, and Education History task

00:00:30.380 --> 00:00:35.220
is about completing a security screening
form. This recording explains the

00:00:35.220 --> 00:00:38.260
questions on the security screening form
and how to answer them.

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:42.640
It also shows you how to update your
security screening form after you have

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:47.500
submitted it. The email with its video
link is the first of three emails

00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:51.480
you will get for this task. You should get
the second email within three days of the

00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:56.400
first email. Make sure you save the second
email because it has your personal

00:00:56.400 --> 00:01:00.340
link to your security screening form. You
won't be able to complete your security

00:01:00.340 --> 00:01:05.180
screening form without it. If you don't
get this email or do delete it by mistake,

00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:08.800
contact your recruiting officer so that
they can send you another email.

00:01:09.460 --> 00:01:13.660
No one else can use your form, so do not
forward this email to anyone else.

00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:24.260
The security screening form has five
sections. Legal Names and Contact,

00:01:24.440 --> 00:01:28.220
where you will enter your current contact
information. Citizenship,

00:01:28.460 --> 00:01:32.900
Residences, Professional Background, where
you will enter details about your jobs or

00:01:32.900 --> 00:01:37.440
schools. And Personal References, where
you will enter contact information for

00:01:37.440 --> 00:01:42.220
three people who can vouch for your
character. The first section is the Legal

00:01:42.220 --> 00:01:45.460
Names and Contact section. You will enter
your full name,

00:01:45.580 --> 00:01:50.400
including any middle names. You will also
need to enter your family name at birth if

00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:52.420
it is different from the family name you
have now.

00:01:53.320 --> 00:01:56.760
You will need to provide any nicknames or
other names you have used.

00:01:57.060 --> 00:02:01.720
This includes short versions of your name,
like Bob for Robert or Kate for Catherine.

00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:05.360
You will also have to enter your date of
birth and gender,

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:07.760
as well as a phone number where you can be
reached.

00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.880
The Citizenship section asks for your
country and town of birth.

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.760
Make sure the information you provide
matches your birth certificate.

00:02:18.300 --> 00:02:23.240
There is also space to provide additional
explanations. This box can be used to list

00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:27.400
any other citizenships you have. In the
Residences section,

00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:31.860
you will need to enter your current
address. Please contact your recruiting

00:02:31.860 --> 00:02:35.820
officer if you do not have a current
address. There are ways to handle this

00:02:35.820 --> 00:02:39.200
situation depending on how long and why
you are unhoused.

00:02:40.220 --> 00:02:44.460
In the Professional Background section,
you need to list the name and address of

00:02:44.460 --> 00:02:49.020
each job you worked at and each school you
attended. You will need to list these for

00:02:49.020 --> 00:02:53.900
the last five years. You will also need to
give contact information for your

00:02:53.900 --> 00:02:58.380
work supervisors. If you think contacting
a supervisor might put your job at risk,

00:02:58.580 --> 00:03:02.900
let us know. You will need to explain why
and give another contact name for that

00:03:02.900 --> 00:03:07.860
job. Finally, you will need to say if you
were fired or asked to

00:03:07.860 --> 00:03:12.780
leave any of your jobs and why. Be honest.
Giving incomplete or dishonest

00:03:12.780 --> 00:03:17.640
answers will affect your security
screening. The last section is for your

00:03:17.640 --> 00:03:21.920
personal references. You will need to give
three personal references who can talk

00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:25.860
about your character. These should be
people who know you well and have known

00:03:25.860 --> 00:03:29.940
you for at least a year. At least one
reference should be from your job or

00:03:29.940 --> 00:03:33.020
school. The other two can be from your
personal life.

00:03:33.340 --> 00:03:37.820
They can't be your relatives. When you add
together how long your references have

00:03:37.820 --> 00:03:40.580
known you, the total must be at least five
years.

00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.520
You might not be able to find the exact
description for your references on the

00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.420
list provided. That's okay. Pick one that
is close.

00:03:49.780 --> 00:03:53.280
For example, you can use Counselor to
describe your sports coach.

00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:57.360
You will have to enter personal
information about your references,

00:03:57.760 --> 00:04:02.060
such as their address, phone number, and
birthday. Make sure to ask their

00:04:02.060 --> 00:04:06.940
permission before using someone as a
reference. The last step is

00:04:06.940 --> 00:04:11.620
to review all the information you have
entered. If you find a mistake,

00:04:11.940 --> 00:04:14.640
use the menu to go back to the section
that needs fixing.

00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:18.500
Or, go backwards through the website using
the previous button.

00:04:20.420 --> 00:04:22.980
When you are sure that all your
information is correct,

00:04:23.260 --> 00:04:26.860
click on the Submit button. After you
click Submit,

00:04:27.060 --> 00:04:31.940
you might see a list of errors. If this
happens, go back to the section shown and

00:04:31.940 --> 00:04:36.460
fix the mistake. For example, the error
message on the screen shows that the

00:04:36.460 --> 00:04:40.380
References section is missing a province
or state for reference number one.

00:04:40.860 --> 00:04:43.900
After you fix any errors, submit your
application again.

00:04:44.740 --> 00:04:49.580
The final step in submitting your Gambit
ID screening is to complete the Applicant

00:04:49.580 --> 00:04:54.500
Declaration of Understanding and Consent.
Checking the boxes and initialing and

00:04:54.500 --> 00:04:59.060
signing this screen gives Gambit ID
permission to verify the information you

00:04:59.060 --> 00:05:03.580
provided. It also gives Gambit ID
permission to contact your references,

00:05:04.140 --> 00:05:06.900
check your credit, and conduct a criminal
record check.

00:05:07.940 --> 00:05:11.660
Part of completing this screen is reading
the Declaration of Understanding,

00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.180
the Declaration of Consent, and the
Privacy Act Statement.

00:05:15.760 --> 00:05:20.100
These documents are accessed by clicking
on the links directly above the box where

00:05:20.100 --> 00:05:24.100
you will draw your initials. Be sure to
read each of these three documents

00:05:24.100 --> 00:05:27.880
carefully, and don't hesitate to contact
your recruiting office if there is

00:05:27.880 --> 00:05:31.280
anything in these documents that you do
not understand or that you find

00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:36.200
concerning. You will not be able to click
the Confirm button to finish this

00:05:36.200 --> 00:05:39.360
page until you have accessed all three of
these documents,

00:05:39.820 --> 00:05:43.020
checked all the boxes, and drawn your
initials and signature.

00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:48.440
The website link in your second email from
Gambit ID will stop working as soon as you

00:05:48.440 --> 00:05:51.960
click Confirm on your Applicant
Declaration of Understanding and Consent.

00:05:52.420 --> 00:05:56.700
Watch for a third email. It will have a
link to access a different Gambit ID

00:05:56.700 --> 00:06:01.680
webpage called the Applicant Self-Serve
Portal. This portal allows you to

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:04.940
update your information or change your
references if you need to.

00:06:05.540 --> 00:06:09.480
Your Gambit ID screening will take longer
if there are mistakes in your information

00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:14.180
or problems reaching your references. So
be sure to keep your information up to

00:06:14.180 --> 00:06:19.040
date. The Applicant Self-Serve Portal is
the only place you can find out

00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:23.520
the status of your Gambit ID security
screening. Most people can expect their

00:06:23.520 --> 00:06:26.320
Gambit ID screening to be completed in
about two weeks.

00:06:26.900 --> 00:06:31.060
Please note that your recruiting center
does not have any other information about

00:06:31.060 --> 00:06:35.980
the status of your screening. You can work
ahead on other tasks on your

00:06:35.980 --> 00:06:40.400
Canadian Armed Forces Applicant Dashboard
while you are waiting for your Gambit ID

00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:44.780
screening to be processed. If you have
finished all the tasks on your dashboard,

00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.780
reach out to your recruiting center to
have more added.

00:06:48.900 --> 00:06:52.600
You can find the contact information for
your recruiting center on your dashboard

00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:57.580
under the menu options. Finally, we

00:06:57.580 --> 00:07:01.460
want you to know that we understand the
application process for the Canadian Armed

00:07:01.460 --> 00:07:05.180
Forces is long. Thank you for investing
your time in applying.

00:07:06.180 --> 00:07:07.920
This is the end of our recording. This is
the end of our recording.
