minimize delays.

This form must always be accompanied by a completed Personnel screening, consent
and authorization form (TBS/SCT 330-23E).

ACCESSING THE FORM

The form is available in 2 formats:

 * an online version (recommended choice)
 * a manual version

Forms submitted online can be processed more quickly than forms completed
manually.


ONLINE VERSION

 1. Log in to Public Services and Procurement Canada's (PSPC) online industrial
    security services (OLISS) portal
 2. Complete and submit this form using the OLISS's personnel security screening
    service

Company security officers (CSOs) can register for OLISS by email:
tpsgc.ssisedsisensibilisation-issolissoutreach.tpsgc@tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca.


MANUAL VERSION

Complete the Security clearance form (TBS/SCT 330-60E).


WHO NEEDS TO COMPLETE THE FORM

This form needs to be completed by 2 people:

 * the CSO or the alternate company security officer (ACSO)
 * the applicant


COMPLETING THE FORM

To properly complete the Security clearance form manually, the Contract Security
Program (CSP) strongly recommends that CSOs and applicants refer to the
instructions on page 5 of the form.

Refer to the training video for more information on how to complete the Security
clearance form.


GETTING STARTED

This information applies to those completing the form manually.

Make sure applicant prints at the top of each page of the printed form their:

 * surname (last name)
 * first and middle names
 * date of birth

This will allow the CSP to link each page to the appropriate request, in case
the pages get separated.

Ensure that the handwriting is neat and easy to read. If not, the form will be
rejected and returned to your organization by mail.


FOR NEW TOP SECRET CLEARANCE REQUESTS ONLY

The applicant is no longer required to provide passport photos with their form
submission. However, the CSP reserves the right to request passport photos if
they are needed at a later date. If requested, the applicant must provide 3
passport photos taken within the last 6 months, dated and signed at the back by
the applicant and the CSO or ACSO.


PERSONNEL SECURITY SCREENING REQUESTS REQUIRING ELECTRONIC FINGERPRINTS

For OLISS requests, the CSO must enter the 20-digit document control number
(DCN) into the OLISS.

For more information see personnel security screening requests requiring
electronic fingerprints.


PROVIDING ADDITIONAL DETAILS

This information applies to those completing the form using OLISS.

When completing this form using the personnel security screening service in
OLISS, users must include additional details in the electronic form. Previously,
users had to submit these details separately (by email, fax or email).

(TBS/SCT 330-23E) for more information.

(TBS/SCT 330-23E) for more information.

Top Secret SIGINT requests, and write down the exact level in the space given.

Employee ID number/PRI/rank and service number

Leave blank. This field does not apply to private sector organizations.

Organization number

Enter the number that was assigned to your organization by the CSP. This number
can be found on your organization clearance letter.


SECTION B: BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

This section is completed by the applicant.

1, 2 and 3. Surname (Last name), Full given names and Family name at birth
Ensure that the applicant enters their surname and given names in the
appropriate boxes. Initials or nicknames are not permitted; the applicant must
spell all their given names in full and underline or circle the name they
usually use. The applicant must also enter their family name at birth, even if
it is the same as their surname.


NOTE

Providing 2 pieces of official identification in the hard copy documentation can
help prevent errors during data entry and avoid unnecessary delays.

4. All other names used

The applicant must give all other names used. This includes any nicknames (for
example, Bob for Robert, Kate for Katherine). These nicknames should not be used
in the "Surname, Full names given and Family name at birth" section. Initials
are also not accepted here either.

5. Sex

The applicant must complete this section.

6. Date of birth

Ensure the date of birth entered matches the date of birth on the applicant's
piece of identification.

7. Place of birth

Applicant must provide place of birth, including city, province or state, and
country.

8, 9 and 10: Name change (other than marriage)/place of change (city, province
or state and country)/method (authority)

Ensure the applicant completes these fields if they have changed their birth
name for reasons other than marriage. They must also give proof of the name
change.


CHECKLIST FOR COMPLETING SECTION B

Applicants, please ensure that you disclose and provide proof in the hard copy
documentation of any name change for reasons other than marriage.


SECTION C: SECURITY SCREENING

This section is completed by the applicant.

1. Have you ever previously completed a Government of Canada security screening
form? If yes, give name of employer, level and year of screening If the
applicant checks "Yes," ensure that they give the correct name of employer or
government department. This is particularly important for screenings held by
other government departments. If the CSP has to investigate which government
department holds the applicant's personnel security screening, it will cause
significant delays.


NOTE

Screening requests that have been previously rejected by the CSP do not count as
a previous screening.


SECTION D: MARITAL STATUS/COMMON-LAW PARTNERSHIP

This section is completed by the applicant.

Current status The applicant can only check 1 box. For example, if they are
currently in a common-law partnership and are also divorced, they should check
"Common-law partnership" because that is their current status. If the applicant
has been separated, divorced or widowed for more than 5 years and has not
remarried or entered into a new common-law partnership, they can check "Single."
Current spouse or common-law partner If the applicant is currently married or in
a common-law partnership, they must give all the information requested on the
current spouse or partner, including complete residence and employment
information. They must also give information on their mother and father-in-law
in section E (Immediate relatives). If the applicant's spouse or partner is a
non-Canadian national or landed immigrant who has not yet arrived in Canada,
they must also give details on their spouse or partner's brothers and sisters.
And, on a separate Security clearance form (TBS/SCT 330-60E), they must give
10 years of history on their partner or spouse in sections H (Residence) and I
(Employment). Previous spouse or common-law partner If the applicant has been
separated, divorced or widowed for less than 5 years, they must give details on
their previous spouse or common-law partner. For previous common-law partners,
the date of separation is the date the applicant and their previous partner
stopped living together.

If the applicant has been separated, divorced or widowed for more than 5 years,
they do not have to give information on their previous spouse or common-law
partner.


CHECKLIST FOR COMPLETING SECTION D

Applicants, please ensure that you provide complete information about your
current spouse.


SECTION E: IMMEDIATE RELATIVES

This section is completed by the applicant.

Ensure that the applicant completes this section properly. It is the most
problematic section of the form.

The applicant must give information about all of their immediate relatives,
living in and outside of Canada. This includes the applicant's:

 * father, mother, brother(s) and sister(s)
 * stepmother and stepfather
 * half or step brother(s) and sister(s)
 * adoptive parents
 * children over 18 years of age
 * mother-in-law and father-in-law (only if you are currently married or in a
   common-law partnership)
 * stepmother-in-law and stepfather-in-law (only if you are currently married or
   in a common-law partnership)

If the applicant is estranged from a relative and is unable to give details on
this relative, they must give as much information as they can about the relative
(name, relationship, last known address and date of birth). The applicant must
also explain on a separate sheet of paper why they cannot give the rest of the
information (unable to locate the relative, contact with the relative would be
adverse or harmful, etc.).

A. Full name Ensure the applicant gives the maiden name of all male or female
relatives. B, C, D. Relationship, place and date of birth The applicant must
complete these sections in full. The relationship is the relative's relationship
to the applicant. E. Present address Ensure the applicant gives complete
residence information for each relative, including the street number, street
name, city, province and country. Post office (PO) boxes are not accepted. F.
Date of death If a relative is deceased, they must give the last address of the
deceased. It is not acceptable to enter "deceased," "cemetery" or "heaven." In
the spaces given for "Name of employer and address" and "Job title," the
applicant can enter "not applicable." G. Name and address of employer Ensure the
applicant provides complete employment information for each relative, including
the job title, employer name, street number, street name, city, province and
country.

If a relative is attending school, the applicant must enter "student" as the job
title and enter the name of the school as the employer name. They must also give
the complete address for the school.

If a relative is retired, unemployed or a stay-at-home parent, the applicant can
enter "retired," "unemployed" or "stay-at-home parent," as the employer name and
address. For the job title, the applicant can enter "not applicable."


CHECKLIST FOR COMPLETING SECTION E

Applicants, please ensure that you:

 * provide a justification or explanation as to why you did not include specific
   relatives (for example, mother, father or sister) on the form
 * provide complete information (for example, address, employment and last known
   address) about relatives
 * provide the maiden name (family name at birth) of all female or male
   relatives


SECTION F: CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS IN AND OUTSIDE OF CANADA

This section is completed by the applicant.

Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offence for which you have not been
granted a pardon (record suspension)

The applicant must answer this question truthfully. If they check "Yes," they
must complete the entire section and declare all convictions in and outside of
Canada. If they have been convicted of multiple crimes, they must give details
on each additional conviction on a separate sheet of paper. If the applicant
does not remember the exact date of a conviction, they need to enter the closest
date possible and give justification on a separate sheet of paper. If the CSP
finds that the applicant has not been truthful, it will most likely need to meet
with the applicant for a subject interview. This will cause significant delays
and could lead to the denial of their reliability status or security clearance.
Even convictions that happened 25 years ago must be disclosed.

As a CSO or ACSO, you should reassure the applicant. The presence of criminal
conviction(s) will not necessarily prevent them from being granted a personnel
security screening.


SECTION G: FOR COMPLETION BY PERSONS BORN OUTSIDE CANADA OR BORN IN CANADA
HOLDING DUAL CITIZENSHIP

This section is completed by the applicant, if applicable.

Ensure the applicant completes this section if they were born abroad or if they
were born in Canada and hold dual citizenship.

If the applicant was born abroad, they must give a copy of 1 of the following
immigration documents (both sides):

 * immigration visa (work, study or refugee)
 * record of landing
 * permanent resident card
 * Canadian passport
 * certificate of Canadian citizenship
 * certificate of registration of birth abroad (if born to Canadian parents)

If the applicant gives their immigration visa, their security clearance will
only be valid for the duration of the visa. To extend the expiry date of their
clearance, you will need to submit a reactivation request. Consult how to
complete the Personnel screening, consent and authorization form
(TBS/SCT 330-23E) for more information. In your reactivation request you must
give a copy of the applicant's renewed visa. If you give the applicant's
permanent resident card, Canadian passport or certificate of Canadian
citizenship, their clearance will be extended to its full validity (10 years for
Secret, 5 years for Top Secret).


CHECKLIST FOR COMPLETING SECTION G

Applicants, please ensure that you include a copy of your immigration paper in
the hard copy documentation if you were born outside of Canada.


SECTION H: RESIDENCE

This section is completed by the applicant, if applicable.

Ensure the applicant gives complete home addresses for the last 10 years in and
outside of Canada. PO boxes are not accepted and there cannot be any time gaps
between residences. If the applicant was homeless, they must enter "homeless" in
the space given for "Street name" and enter the city, province, country and
dates for that period.

If there is not enough space on the form to include all addresses, the applicant
must give the remaining addresses on a separate sheet of paper. If a full
address cannot be given, the applicant must give an explanation on a separate
sheet of paper.

If the applicant left the country to travel for more than 6 months (for example,
back-packing around Europe), they must enter "travel" in the space given for
"Street name" and enter a city, province, country and dates associated to that
period. On a separate sheet of paper, the applicant must give an explanation and
specify all the cities and countries they visited and the dates associated with
each visit.

Out-of-country verification documentation is required for applicants who have
lived outside of Canada continuously for 6 months or longer. Consult
out-of-country verifications for more information.

Ensure the dates entered in this section coincide with the dates entered in
section I (Employment) and section J (Foreign employment). If there are any
discrepancies, for example if the applicant was living and working in different
cities during the same period, you must confirm on a separate sheet of paper
that the discrepancy is intended and give an explanation (for example, the
applicant worked remotely from home, stayed at a relative's house during the
work week, drove back and forth every day, etc.).

The postal code and telephone number are only required for the current address.


CHECKLIST FOR COMPLETING SECTION H

Applicants, please ensure that you:

 * leave no gaps in your residence history and account for all time periods
 * demonstrate that your residence history is consistent with your employment
   history (for example, ensure that your application indicates that you lived
   and worked in the same country at the same time)
 * provide your CSO or ACSO, upon request, with out-of-country verifications
   documents if you lived outside of Canada


SECTION I: EMPLOYMENT

This section is completed by the applicant, if applicable.

Would your employment be jeopardized if your current supervisor, below, is
contacted Ensure that the applicant answers this question. This section is often
left unanswered. If they check "Yes," they must provide an alternate employment
contact. Were you dismissed or asked to resign from any position(s) as listed
below Ensure the applicant answers this question. If they check "Yes," they must
give the name of the employer, supervisor and date. On a separate sheet of
paper, they must also explain why there were dismissed or asked to resign. If
the applicant was laid off due to company downsizing, company bankruptcy,
shortage of work or seasonal employment, they can check "No." Employment history

The applicant must be employed by your organization. If they are not, they must
be set to commence work within 60 days. This means that your organization must
be listed as the applicant's current employer.

Transcript of completing the form video

Start of video.

(A man wearing a tie and holding files is shown. The words "PSPC: Public
Services and Procurement Canada" and "330-60" appear.)

(A new screen showing a man at a console with the words "Treasury Board of
Canada Secretariat TBS 330-60 Security Clearance Form" on the screen appears.)

(A new screen titled "Security Clearance Form: Treasury Board of Canada
Secretariat TBS 330-60 for Applicants" appears. The words "Applicants," "Company
Security Officers," and "Alternate Company Security Officers" appear.)

(The narrator speaks.)

This video is for applicants, company security officers and alternate company
security officers who need help completing the security clearance form, Treasury
Board of Canada Secretariat TBS- 330-60.

(A new screen titled "Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat" appears.)

In accordance with the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat Standard on Security
Screening, this form is required to apply for a security clearance at the Secret
or Top Secret level. It must always be accompanied by a completed Personnel
Screening, Consent and Authorization form, also called the Treasury Board of
Canada Secretariat TBS 330-23.

(A new screen titled "CSP: Contract Security Program" appears. An image of the
form appears.)

One of the most common delays in obtaining a security clearance is due to errors
in the screening forms. We therefore recommend that you first watch the video
entitled Completing the personnel screening, consent and authorization form
(TBS/SCT 330-23E) for applicants.

(A new screen titled "Website" appears.)

The Security Clearance form and other useful tools are located on our website.
Be sure to take a look at these tools as they will also help you complete your
screening form.

(The web address for Security requirements for contracting with the Government
of Canada is displayed.)

(A new screen titled "Online Industrial Security Services: OLISS" appears.)

The easiest way to fill out your form is by using the online industrial security
services portal, commonly referred to as OLISS. This online tool can also be
accessed through our website and makes your screening requests easier to read
and process while reducing the chance of errors. In order to use this service,
your organization must be registered in our program and have an online
industrial security services portal (OLISS) account. If you are a company
security officer and don't have an account, please contact the Contract Security
Program and our Client Service Centre will help you set one up. Please note that
once you start using the online industrial security services portal (OLISS), all
future security clearance forms must be filled out using this service.

(The web address for the Online industrial security services is displayed.)

(A new screen depicting the signature section in the online industrial security
services portal (OLISS) appears. The image shows that the online industrial
security services portal (OLISS) users need to choose between e-signature and
original signature before submitting the form electronically to Personnel
Security Screening.)

In the online industrial security services portal (OLISS) you can e-sign your
form which means paper copies of the form(s) do not need to be submitted. Please
note that both you the applicant and your responsible security official must
e-sign for the e-signature to be considered a valid signature.

(A new screen depicting the additional information field in the online
industrial security services portal (OLISS) appears. The image shows that the
online industrial security services portal (OLISS) users may enter up to 500
characters of additional information.)

Also in the online industrial security services portal (OLISS), if information
is unavailable or unknown to you, you can add an explanation as to why the
information is unavailable or unknown using the additional information field.

(A new screen appears.)

For all new Secret clearance requests, including updates and upgrades, sections

(A new screen titled "Section B" appears.)

Sections B to P must be filled out by you, the applicant.

Section B: Biographical information. This section is often filled out
incorrectly. Please do not leave blank fields or boxes unchecked.

(A new screen with the previous title appears.)

After entering your surname, it is important that you provide your full name,
including first name and all middle names when filling out the "Full given
names" field. We do not accept initials or nicknames as the "full given name".
Don't forget to circle or underline your "usual name used".

If you have changed your name for reasons other than marriage you need to
provide your previous name and your present name.You also need to indicate where
the name change took place as well as the method. An example of the method would
be: "Registrar of Canada."

(A new screen with the previous title appears. Text on the screen indicates the
information needed. An applicant, born Carolina Marie Hollinda, provides her new
name, which is Linda Marie Hollinda. She provides the date of the name change
and the method by which the name change occurred, which is "Province of
Ontario.")

Lastly, you need to provide proof of your name change to your company security
officer.

(A new screen with the title "Section B: properly Completed" appears.)

Here is an example of Section B properly completed.

An image of Section B is displayed. The applicant with the name Linda Marie
Hollinda has filled in the "Surname" field with Hollinda. She has filled in the
"Full given names" field with Linda Marie. Because she goes by the name Linda,
the applicant has underlined "Linda." She has filled in the "Family name at
birth" field with Hollinda. The applicant has inputted "n/a," meaning not
applicable, in the "All other names used" field. She has checked the "Sex" box
and has filled in the "Date of birth" field. The applicant has filled in the
"Place of birth," "Province/State" and "Country" fields. She has inputted "Yes"
in the "Name change (other than marriage)" field and has inputted "Carolina

want to know if you have already applied for a screening with any government
department or agency. If so, we need you to provide the name of the employer who
requested the screening, as well as the level and year of the screening.

(A screen titled "Section D" appears.)

Next is Section D: Marital Status/Common-Law Partnership.

appears.)

Under "Current Status," you must only check one box. If you have been divorced,
separated or widowed for more than 5 years and have not remarried or entered
into a new common-law partnership, you can check "Single."

(A new screen with the previous title appears.)

If you are currently in a common-law partnership and you are also divorced,
separated or widowed, check "Common-law partnership" because that is your actual
current status.

(A new screen with the previous title appears.)

"Common-law partnership" in this form relates to an individual who has been
living with you for at least one year and who is in a conjugal relationship with
you.

(A new screen with the previous title appears.)

In Section D1, you need to provide all the information required on your current
spouse or common-law partner.

If you have been divorced, separated or widowed for less than 5 years, you have
to include your previous spouse or partner in section D2. If you are widowed, we
need the date of death of your deceased spouse or partner in Section D2e.

(A new screen with the previous title appears.)

For previous common-law partners, the date of separation is the date at which
you ceased cohabitation.

(A new screen with the previous title appears.)

Remember: we do not accept nicknames or initials. Under full given names, we
need you to provide all middle names.

(A new screen titled "Section D: Properly completed" appears.)

country of marriage/common-law partnership" and "City, province or state, and
country of birth" fields both contain a city, a province and a country. The
"Date of birth" and "Present address" fields have been filled in. The applicant
left the "If separated, widowed or divorced, specify date" field blank because
it does not apply. The "Name and address of employer (job title)" field contains
the name and address of the current spouse or common-law partner employer and
their job title.)

(A new screen titled "Section E" appears.)

Next up is Section E: Immediate Relatives.

This is the most complex section of this form. Here are a few tips to help you
complete it properly.

(A new screen with the previous title appears.)

You must provide details on all of your immediate relatives, living in and
outside of Canada. This includes your father, mother, brothers and sisters,
adoptive parents, and children over 18 years of age. This also includes all half

If you are currently married or in a common-law partnership, you must also
provide details on your mother and father-in-law and on any children over
18 years of age of your spouse or partner. This includes any step-mother-in-law
or step-father-in-law.

(A new screen with the previous title appears.)

If a relative is deceased, their employer name and address are not required.
However, the last physical address where the relative resided is required. It is
not acceptable to enter "deceased", "cemetery", or "hospital."

(A new screen with the previous title appears.)

Make sure to provide between brackets, the maiden name or surname at birth of
all immediate relatives, male and female.

Lastly, if you are estranged from a relative or if information is unknown about
a particular relative, you need to provide as much information as you can in the
additional information field in the online industrial security services portal
(OLISS) and you must provide an explanation as to why the rest of the
information is unknown. For example, you cannot locate the relative or
contacting the relative would be harmful to you.

Here is an example of Section E properly completed.

"Date of death" field. Because her brother is deceased, the applicant has
inputted "n/a" for not applicable in the "Name and address of employer" and "Job
title" fields.

appears.)

This brings us to Section F: Criminal Convictions in and outside of Canada.

not been granted a pardon (now referred to as a record suspension), you must

the online industrial security services portal (OLISS), starting with your most
recent one. And if you do not remember the exact date of your conviction, you
must provide the most accurate date as possible and include an explanation in
the additional information field indicating that you do not remember the exact
date.

Your residential history must coincide with other dates within the application,
such as Section I: Employment history and Section J: Foreign employment.

   decide to click the original signature option, your company security officer
   will need to print out the form and have you fill this section by hand, as
   all initials must be hand signed and not typed

Should we receive an incomplete application, your company security officer will
ask you to fix the problems or obtain the required documents, and will need to
resubmit your application. This takes time and causes delays.

available for use, we will update this video.
