Important messages

If you need to be accommodated during any phase of the evaluation process, please use the Contact information below to request specialized accommodation.

Assessment accommodation

*NOTE: 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.

** Please note that 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, the best 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.

Work environment

The Personnel Administration (PE) Development Program is designed to facilitate the development of talented individuals who have the potential to excel as HR professionals. The program is an integrated, competency-based career development framework, designed to hire participants at the entry level and, after fulfilling training and development requirements, appoint them to the HR Advisor working level of PE-03. Program duration will vary for each participant depending on the individual’s state of professional development, their performance, and the learning and development required for their respective discipline.

HR Advisors in Classification require an accreditation in classification to obtain classification sub-delegation and be authorized to make classification decisions in a Department. The Organization and Classification learning curriculum includes mandatory training offered by the Canada School of Public Service (one on-line course and three classroom courses), and a practicum period in the home organization. After the completion of the practicum period, accreditation proposals are submitted to Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat who will review and, once satisfied that requirements have been met, will issue the classification accreditation.

Intent of the process

The immediate need is to staff one position on an indeterminate basis.

A pool of qualified candidates may be established to staff similar temporary and/or permanent positions.

Should a Civilian Member (CM) be found qualified and selected for appointment, the appointment will not result in a change of status to another category for the member.
