The advert says the job needs UK security clearance:
“Due to the secure nature of the programme, you will need to hold UK Security Clearance or be eligible to go through this clearance.”
SC clearance usually needs five years of living in the UK, and DV clearance usually needs ten. If you have lived here that long, for example on a Student and then a Graduate visa, you may be able to get it. Most people applying from outside the UK cannot, so the highest likelihood we give this job is Unlikely. Ask CGI whether they would sponsor you.
