If it's #1, he's just hoping to run out the clock and get elected. Prime Ministers don't actually have to go through the invasive security clearance; they're just granted it automatically.
For #2, his argument has been debunked many times by former CSIS Directors:

Right, so most likely he's just holding out until he is elected and gets it without the review? Which means he's deathly afraid of Canadians finding out about whatever it is he's hiding. Now I really want to know, and I think all Canadians should know what he is afraid of us learning about him. It would be irresponsible to vote for someone like that.
