From what I know - the easiest way to get started is to register with a headhunter/agency for your job search/prospects. They'll start the application for you and once you get your clearance, i.e. you're in the system, you can pretty much go anywhere. The subsequent levels of clearance don't take too long if your employer specifically requires it.
Unfortunately, I don't think that individuals are able to apply themselves for security clearance... it has to be your employer or another employment related organization that submits the request. I live in the Ottawa area where a lot of government jobs require it and most employment agencies assist candidates in acquiring it.
I think immigrants/residents can apply for it... not just citizens.
