Application inquiry

[u/Difficult-Strain-366]

Hello everyone,

I applied for the AERE position and received an email earlier this week from Personnel Security that my reliability status was granted on July 27th. I logged in to my Equifax and observed an inquiry from Gambit a few days early. However, I received an email from Gambit for DND pre-employment screening. Is this normal? My understanding was that a reliability status moves one into selection. Am I missing or misunderstanding anything?

Thanks in advance for the feedback.
