Griffin... All police services in Canada use the RCMP Ottawa record data centre for their criminal record checks! Provencal and municipal police and Commissioners are authorised ONLY to fingerprint candidates and forward said fingerprints on to Ottawa on behalf of the candidate that’s requesting a record check.

HC act reads “Security clearance application, a Canadian police force, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), or private fingerprinting agencies accredited by the RCMP can submit, on your behalf, your fingerprints electronically to the RCMP for the purpose of a criminal record check”.

In Canada, the RCMP have relegated these duties to the Commissionaires (and some other companies), who do the actual fingerprinting and initiate database search. This is not a long process at all. It is exactly the same form and process as with many other Canadian goverment security checks. I don't know why you would say that the RCMP is a "black box" to Health Canada, I'm sure they require these same clearances for other sensitive areas controlled by Health Canada, as do many other government organizations. I have seen some clerances take longer, but that has most often (in my experience) been the result of questionable travel histories. Of course, if the information submitted is incomplete, the process can be significantly delayed.

App endix C: Personnel security clearance application requirements

Each individual requiring a security clearance must submit a Security Clearance Application in the CTLS with the following information:

• Biographical information: Including name, date of birth, preferred official language, location of birth, birth certificate number and issuing province or territory, and descriptors such as eye and hair colour, weight and height. A valid piece of photo identification issued by the government (Canada or province or territory) or a copy of the passport with the passport number, country, expiry date and photograph must also be provided.
• Criminal charges and convictions: The applicant must obtain a criminal record check and include information about past criminal charges and convictions in the application.

Tip: As part of the criminal record check process, the applicant must provide a “Security Clearance Fingerprint Third Party Consent to Release Personal Information Form.” This must be provided to the local police force, the RCMP, or a private fingerprinting agency accredited by the RCMP. The form authorizes the RCMP to release the criminal record check and fingerprint verification results to Health Canada. Following fingerprinting, a document control number (DCN) is provided on the form, which is used as the identifier for the record check. Refer to the Health Canada website for this form.

• Residential addresses: Must be included for the past five years, prior to the time of application.
• Employment, education and unemployment history: Must be included for the past five years, prior to the time of application.
• Marital status: Must include details of current and any previous spouses or common-law partners over the last five years.
• Time spent outside of country of residence: The applicant must provide the dates, destination and purpose of travel for any travel exceeding 90 days in the past five years.
• Signed consent:  As part of this application, a consent and certification form must be uploaded with a signature by the individual. Refer to Appendix K: Security Clearance – Consent and Certification Form.
• Submission: The applicant must attest that the information, including supporting documents, in the application is true prior to submission.
