Other information

The Public Service of Canada is committed to building a skilled and diverse workforce that reflects the Canadians we serve. We promote employment equity and encourage you to indicate if you belong to one of the designated groups when you apply.

Information on employment equity

A written examination may be administered. Reference checks will be sought. Candidates must meet the essential qualifications to be appointed to a position. Acknowledgment of receipt of applications will not be sent; we will contact candidates when the screening process is completed. Although the asset qualifications are not mandatory, they may be required for specific positions being staffed. Therefore, if you do have the asset experience, it is to your advantage to demonstrate this in your application. An assignment/secondment or an acting appointment is a temporary resourcing option. The approval of your substantive supervisor may/will be required before an offer can be made.

**Important Note: Candidates must ensure that their application includes an up-to-date resume and a written cover letter demonstrating with concrete examples how they meet the education and experience criteria. Written communication will be assessed by reviewing the candidate's cover letter. Failure to provide a cover letter will result in your elimination from the selection process. Please have the cover letter included in your resume.
