Assessment accommodation

On October 6, 2021, the Government of Canada announced details of its plans to require vaccination across the federal public service.

As per the new Policy on COVID-19 Vaccination for the Core Public Administration Including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, federal public servants in the Core Public Administration and members of the RCMP must attest to their vaccination status. The requirement for employees to be fully vaccinated applies whether they are teleworking, working remotely or working on-site. This is a condition of employment and it applies to indeterminate (permanent), determinate (term), casual, and student hiring. Should you reach the point in the selection process where it is necessary to verify terms and conditions of employment then the hiring manager or a human resources representative will contact you in order to complete an attestation.

Applications will be accepted online only. Please apply online at www.canada.ca/government-jobs. If you have a disability that prevents you from applying on-line please contact the hiring manager as identified on this poster.

Communication for this process will be sent via email. It is the responsibility of the candidate to ensure accurate contact information is provided and updated as required. Candidates who apply to this selection process should include an email address that accepts email from unknown users (some email systems block these types of email). Candidates are strongly encouraged to check their email on a regular basis.

Persons are entitled to participate in the appointment process in the official language of their choice. We ask that you indicate your preference in your application.

When submitting an application to this selection process, you will be required to answer screening questions relating to education and experience qualifications (essential and asset). We cannot make any assumptions about your responses. Education - You must provide when (from-to), education institution, and education level obtained.

It is NOT sufficient to state the qualification is met or to provide a listing of current or past duties. The depth and breadth of experience of an applicant may be considered as part of screening or selection of a candidate, which is why it is recommended you quantify your experience. Failure to provide the above information in the format required may result in your application being rejected from the process.
