Probably a stupid question, but...

Does anyone know if being involved in "classified" work for your own government is likely to impact the immigration process, particularly the "security checks"?

Depends on who, that "for your own govt" is.

I'm referring to the sponsored person, not the sponsor.

Probably not. Security checks are to see if you have been convicted of certain crimes, not about your job. They only go through the police or law enforcement, not your employer.

Thanks for the info. Probably just as well.

My husband was the person being sponsored and was/is involved in some classified work for the US government. Didn't seem to have any impact on his application.

Will definitely affect it if the government involved is not one of Canada's 'friends'. Should be no problem if it was for the USA or the UK, though they'll check it.
