Important messages

The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) has grown significantly in recent years, and will continue this growth in 2018-19. The Human Resources function plays a critical role in the support and development of the FCAC’s key asset – its staff.

FCAC’s Corporate Services Branch (CSB) would like to establish and maintain a talent pool in various HR areas. In light of the current and future priorities and plans, CSB wishes to attract professionals who have innovative ideas, are client-service oriented and who want a new challenge.
