This is not your typical inventory!

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.

The Information, Science and Technology Branch (ISTB) of the CBSA is trying a new approach to hire qualified candidates. If you have fully or partially qualified* in a pool, then this opportunity is for you. We are looking to create a repository of fully or partially qualified candidates who would be interested in joining our dynamic community.

What makes this repository different from other job advertisements? Applying once means you can be considered for many job opportunities. If your application is not selected for one job, your application remains in the repository and could be selected again for other job opportunities that come up while the repository remains open. As an applicant, you can also go back and update your resume at any time and change your application.

Work environment

ISTB is focused on having the right people with the right skills in the right place at the right time, all the while supporting employee well-being and making ISTB an employer of choice. The continuous strengthening and integration of the ISTB’s business and HR planning processes will support efforts toward the achievement of operational excellence through higher organizational agility, performance and employee engagement.

ISTB’s strength lies in its people. We attract, develop, promote and retain the best people, offering them a safe work place with equal opportunity to succeed in a dynamic and positive atmosphere.

Intent of the process

The intent of this process is to create and maintain a repository of candidates who are already at level or who have been fully or partially* qualified in Government of Canada selection processes. We will accept candidates from across Canada at various groups and levels into the repository.

When applying to this repository, your application is not for a specific job, but to a repository for future vacancies. As part of this repository, your file may be referred to hiring managers; however, it does not necessarily mean that a job offer will be made.

Please note that we will be considering candidates at level and those who have fully or partially qualified and are part of a pool created in January 2019 or after. Furthermore, this repository does NOT include inventories for which you have not been assessed.
The creation of this repository is not position-specific. A specific position may require an additional qualification that may not have been assessed by the selection process. The hiring manager may require further assessment, which he/she will conduct.

Only online applications will be accepted. All job applications must therefore be submitted through the Public Service Resourcing System (PSRS). Persons with disabilities preventing them from applying online are asked to contact the Public Service Commission at 1-800-645-5605.

Your application in this repository will be active for 90 days. A notice that your application is about to expire will be posted to the ‘My jobs’ menu of your account 20 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 repository. Should your application become inactive while the repository 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.

A variety of assessment tools, including the assessment results from the Public Services Performance Management Program (PSPM Application), may be used to identify the right-fit candidate.

Persons are entitled to participate in the official language(s) of their choice.

In the context of this repository, it has been determined that communicating by email is the most efficient way to contact you. Therefore, candidates should include 2 valid email addresses that accept emails from unknown users (some email systems block these types of email). It is the responsibility of the candidate to ensure accurate information is provided and updated as required. If you do not wish to receive your correspondence by e-mail, it is also your responsibility to inform us.

Only candidates who are considered for an opportunity will be contacted.

Indeterminate employees of the public service may be considered for deployment based on the group and level of their substantive position.
