Make a difference by working for Canada’s largest employer: The Government of Canada.
Canada’s public service is diverse, innovative, and nonpartisan. We are continually engaged in projects and initiatives to improve how we serve Canadians. Together, public servants are making a difference in the lives of Canadians every day. The Government of Canada offers a breadth of rewarding careers in many locations, with great opportunities for learning and development. Whatever you’re passionate about, Canada’s public service has a career path where you can make a difference.
Come work for the federal government’s first independent regulatory body: The Canadian Transportation Agency.
An important mission: The Canadian Transportation Agency is a small organization (about 300 people) with an important mission – to advance Canadians’ economic and social well-being by:
• Helping to keep the national transportation system running efficiently and smoothly;
• Protecting the fundamental right of persons with disabilities to accessible transportation;
• Providing consumer protection for air travelers.
A great place to work:
We are committed to creating a healthy and respectful workplace. Our small size enables us to meet regularly at all-staff events, and encourages dialogue and collaboration – both between managers and employees, and through inter-branch networks and tiger teams. You will have the opportunity to get to know and collaborate with many colleagues across the CTA.
We are located at 15 Eddy, in the heart of Gatineau, with easy access to fitness facilities, public transportation and restaurants.

NOTICE : It is your responsibility, as an applicant, to clearly demonstrate how you meet each factor of the screening criteria (Experience) for all Essential and applicable Asset Qualifications. Please note that it is not sufficient to simply state that the qualification is "met" or to provide a listing of current or past responsibilities. You must provide concrete examples which clearly demonstrate how you meet each factor of the screening criteria (Experience) for all Essential and applicable Asset Qualifications. Failure to do so may result in your application being rejected.
The Asset Qualifications contained in the Statement of Merit Criteria may be used as a screening tool. Candidates must meet all of the essential qualifications to be appointed to a position. A candidate may be appointed to a position even though he/she does not meet any or all of the asset qualifications or operational requirements. However, meeting these criteria is desirable and may be a deciding factor in choosing the person to be appointed.
Pass marks will be established for each qualification. However, achieving the pass mark is not a guarantee of an appointment or that candidates will be put through to the next stages of the assessment process. Cut-off scores and/or top-down approach may be used at any stage of the staffing process if there are a sufficient number of candidates to meet anticipated staffing needs.
