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

Candidates must submit their application using the "Apply online" function. Only applications submitted via this portal will be considered.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Candidates must clearly demonstrate in the screening questionnaire how they meet the education and experience factors listed as essential and asset qualifications on the statement of merit criteria. In order to do so, the candidate must provide the information as part of their answer to the pertinent screening question, using concrete examples, in the provided area and within the limited characters provided by the system. The assessment board cannot and will not 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 will 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.

Asset qualifications may be assessed at the screening stage. Therefore, please ensure to indicate if you meet the asset qualifications.

A qualified candidate may be offered the position even though he/she does not meet any or all of the asset qualifications. However, asset criteria are desirable and may be invoked at any point of the staffing process by the hiring manager.
