Question: How many business days can a background check take? Why so long? 

Answer: When I got my background check done for work, and I live in Canada, it took 2 weeks there abouts.  It takes so long because the are alot of people getting them done and there is alot of info to check for if you are married for example they have to run 2 last names.
