Important messages

We are committed to providing an inclusive and barrier-free work environment, starting with the hiring process. If you need to be accommodated during any phase of the evaluation process, please use the Contact information below to request specialized accommodation. All information received in relation to accommodation will be kept confidential.

Assessment accommodation

When you apply to this selection process, you are not applying for a specific job, but to an inventory for future vacancies. As positions become available, applicants who meet the qualifications may be contacted for further assessment.

***CANDIDATES WHO APPLIED TO PROCESS 19-BAL-EA-175 MUST APPLY TO THIS PROCESS AS SCREENING QUESTIONS WERE MISSING AND HAVE BEEN ADDED.

Candidates must submit their application using the "Apply online" function. Only applications submitted via this portal will be considered, unless a valid reason is presented prior to the closing date and accepted by the hiring manager.

Please ensure that your information is updated and remains current in your PSRS Applicant Account.

Your application in this inventory will be active for 60 days. A notice that your application is about to expire will be posted to the My Jobs menu of your account 10 days before the end of your active period. If you do not take action, your application will no longer be active and therefore no longer considered for this inventory. Should your application become inactive while the process is still open, a notice will be posted to your account indicating that your application has expired; you may select the link “Update my Inventory Status” to reaffirm your interest.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Candidates that apply for this position will have to complete a **SCREENING QUESTIONNAIRE** in order to clearly demonstrate that they meet the education and experience criteria (essential and asset qualifications).

Candidates must clearly demonstrate in the experience questionnaire how they meet the education and experience criteria listed as essential and asset qualifications on the statement of merit criteria. The assessment board cannot make any assumptions about your experience. Note that it is not sufficient to only state that the qualifications are met or to provide a listing of current or past responsibilities. Resumes may be used as a secondary source to validate the experience described in the experience questionnaire. Failure to clearly demonstrate in the questionnaire how you meet the education and experience, both essential and asset, where applicable, may result in the rejection of your application.

Candidates will not be solicited for incomplete or possible missing information.

Intent of the process

A pool of partially assessed candidates (with the exception of the Second Language Evaluation) may be established following this process which may be used to staff similar positions with various linguistic profiles and requirements and employment tenures within LAC. In the event of an appointment, candidates will need to meet the linguistic profile of the position.

Please note that acting, assignment and secondment opportunities could be offered to employees within the public service as part of this external process.
