Hi everyone!
Here’s the situation: I am a US citizen (born here), 24 years old, with a strong interest in getting a federal intelligence job in the future. My fiance, born in Egypt, lives in Canada with Permanent Residence (PR) status, and is ~2 years from becoming a citizen. He has a great job in Toronto (project manager at a construction company), and we were considering temporarily living there after we get married before moving back to Cincinnati, where we would settle down, and my fiance would work toward US citizenship. If I live and work in Canada for approximately a year, will this impede my ability to get security clearance in the future? Are there any ways to do this in a way that wouldn’t threaten my career? I’ve been scrutinizing the “foreign influence,” “foreign preference,” and “outside activities” disqualifiers, but I would seriously appreciate some advice on our specific situation. Thank you!
