Other information

Candidacies must be submitted online otherwise they will not be considered. Persons with disabilities preventing them from applying on-line are asked to contact 1-800-645-5605. Also, when applying online, you will be asked to provide an answer to pre-screening questions assessing your education and experience. Failure to provide an answer to each pre-screening question will result in your candidacy being eliminated from this selection process.

Furthermore, please note that your competency to communicate effectively in writing may be assessed in part by the answers provided to the pre-screening questions. It is therefore important to ensure you provide complete answers to each of these questions.

The candidates knowledge and competencies will also be assessed using a combination of tools, such as a written exam, an interview and a reference check.

A pass mark will be established for each qualification. However, achieving the pass mark is not guarantee of an appointment or that candidates will be put through the next stages of the assessment process. A cut-off score (in other words, establishing a higher threshold than the pass mark and selecting only the candidates who meet this threshold) and a top-down approach (in other words, establishing a maximum number of candidates who can proceed to the next assessment stage) may be used at any step if there is a sufficient number of candidates to meet immediate and anticipated staffing needs.

Depending on the requirements of the position(s) being staffed from this process, for current or future vacancies, any or all of the asset qualifications, operational requirements, and organizational needs may be applied at the time of staffing. Candidates may be contacted and assessed against these criteria at any time during this process.

Our intention is to communicate with candidates via email. Candidates who apply on this selection process must include in their application a valid e-mail address and make sure that this address is functional at all times and accepts messages from unknown users (some email systems block these types of email).
