Assessment accommodation

When submitting your application, you must answer questions regarding the education and experience requirements (both essential and asset qualifications). You must clearly demonstrate how you meet each of these requirements by answering the questions. It is not sufficient to only state that the qualifications are met or to only provide a listing of current or past responsibilities.

Rather you must clearly demonstrate WHEN (month-year to month-year), WHERE and HOW you acquired each qualification by giving concrete examples. Information provided in your answers related to your education and experience must be supported in your resume. Failure to provide the above information in the format required may result in your application being rejected from the process. The information you provide in the questionnaire must be true.

Depending on the requirements of the position or positions being filled, any or all of the asset qualifications may be considered at any time during this process. These criteria may be a deciding factor in choosing the persons to be appointed. Therefore, it is IMPORTANT that you answer each of the questions related to these requirements.
