Applicants who meet the essential qualifications will have their application included in the inventory for this ongoing selection process. Please ensure that your information is updated and remains current in your emplois.gc.ca applicant account.

When submitting your application, you must clearly demonstrate in the screening questionnaire how you meet the education and experiences listed under ESSENTIAL QUALIFICATIONS and the experiences listed under OTHER QUALIFICATIONS.

Résumé may only be used as a secondary source to validate the qualifications described. Comments such as 'refer to my attached résumé' will not be accepted and may result in your application being rejected.
