It is your responsibility as a candidate to submit a COVER LETTER, which clearly outlines how you meet each of the screening qualifications (i.e. education, essential experience and asset qualifications) as well as a resumé which is linked to the information provided in your cover letter.

It is not sufficient to only state that the qualification is met or to provide a listing of current or past responsibilities.You must provide concrete examples, which illustrate how you meet each qualification. For example, one approach is to use each screening qualification as a heading, and provide a description outlining how that qualification is met. Failure to clearly demonstrate how you meet the screening criteria (education, essential experience and asset qualification) may result in the rejection of your application. Candidates who are missing information or submit incomplete information could be screened out. All job applications must be submitted through the www.jobs.gc.ca system.

For this selection process, 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 e-mail address and make sure that this address is functional at all times and accepts messages from unknown users.
