Important messages

The Public Prosecution Service of Canada (PPSC) prosecutes criminal offenses under federal jurisdiction. The organization has approximately 1000 employees who each play a key role in strengthening the Canadian criminal justice system.

Our mission is to serve the public by:
• prosecuting cases with diligence, in a manner that is fair, impartial, and objective;
• seeking to protect the rights of individuals and to uphold the rule of law; and
• working within the criminal justice system to help make Canada a safe and just society.

In carrying out our mandate, we are guided by key values such as:
• Respect forms the basis of relationships with fellow employees and with the public.
• Integrity motivates employees to apply the highest ethical and professional standards.
• Excellence inspires employees in all aspects of their work.
• Leadership characterizes the organization’s efforts to improve the quality of criminal justice throughout Canada.

We are filling positions in Ottawa, Ontario and Whitehorse, Yukon.

In Ottawa, we are located at 160 Elgin Street, Place Bell, in downtown Ottawa, close to the following amenities and conveniently located close to major bus routes making it easy to commute from all points across the city:

In Whitehorse, we are located downtown. As the Yukon’s capital and a major northern hub, Whitehorse enjoys facilities, services and businesses far beyond the expectation of a city of 30,000.
