THIS PROCESS WILL BE USED TO STAFF THE FOLLOWING POSITIONS:

STREAM 1: EC-03
STREAM 2: EC-04

Applicants must clearly indicate which stream(s) they are applying for and must demonstrate on their application that they meet all essential criteria.

If applicants indicate multiple streams, the selection board will determine which stream(s) the application will be considered for, based on the provided information. Failure to do so may result in the rejection of your application.

If you are currently employed with the Federal Public Service, or are a Civilian Member, please indicate your current group and level as well as your tenure and the Department you are working for.

When submitting an application to this selection process, you will be prompted to answer screening questions concerning the essential education, and the essential and asset experience qualifications. It is your responsibility to provide clear and concrete examples in your responses to each question, including when (from-to), where (occupational title, organization) and how you obtained your education and experience. It is recommended that you describe the experience examples in specific terms, providing sufficient details so that the Assessment Board can clearly understand. Describe the situation/task, the action you took, what you accomplished and/or what you learned. Content of your response must be supported by your CV/resume as your responses to these questions will be used as a primary source of information and your CV/resume will only be used to validate this information. Should you indicate in your response "please refer to CV/resume" your application will be rejected. Lack of examples and details will result in your application being rejected as the Assessment Board will have insufficient information to determine if the requirement is met.
