Candidates must meet all of the essential qualifications noted in the Statement of Merit Criteria to be appointed to a position. A candidate may be appointed to a position even though he/she does not meet any or all of the asset qualifications or operational requirements. However, meeting these criteria is desirable and may be a deciding factor in choosing the person to be appointed. 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.

Management may choose one or more Asset Qualifications at the screening stage.

Persons are entitled to participate in the appointment process in the official language of their choice. Applicants are asked to indicate their preferred official language in their application.

Written test(s) will be administered.

Interviews will be conducted.

Reference checks will be sought.

If you do not fully complete the screening questions as instructed, you will be screened out.

Only screened in candidates will be contacted for further assessment.

Candidates who have failed to qualify on this process will not be re-considered for future pulls from the inventory.

Random selection and/or top-down selection may be used at any time during the process to identify which applicants will be further assessed.

We will be requesting proof of your education and proof of citizenship. If the name on your education credentials is different from the name on your application, we will require proof that you are the same person, e.g. a copy of a marriage certificate.

The client organization will accept applications on-line only. All job applications must therefore be submitted through the Public Service Resourcing System (PSRS).

The following are some of the benefits associated with applying on-line:
• Applicants can create a profile and a resume that can be used when applying for other processes without having to recreate a new application each time.
• Applicants can modify their application/resume at any time BEFORE the closing date indicated on the job advertisement. Applicants can verify the status of their applications, at any time.
• Applicants can be notified electronically of tests or interviews and results. For some jobs, applicants will find important information, namely the job questionnaire and a complete statement of merit criteria that are only available when applying on-line.

All communication regarding this process will be administered via e-mail. It is the candidate's responsibility to provide a valid e-mail address and update their personal information when it changes. If special circumstances prevent you from having access to your email, please contact the assessment committee indicated below.

PLEASE NOTE: Alternative testing dates will be limited and only offered for extenuating circumstances: Illness (a medical certificate will be required) or Emergency Circumstances (verifiable). In addition, our intention is to communicate with applicants by e-mail for screening/assessment purposes (including issuing screening results, and sending invitations for written tests and interviews). Applicants who apply to this selection process must include in their application a valid email address and make sure that this address is functional at all times and accepts messages from unknown users.
