Assessment accommodation

IMPORTANT NOTE: Ability to communicate effectively in writing will be assessed throughout the application process. Applicants must respond to the screening questions in a CLEAR and CONCISE manner and must demonstrate in their online application how they meet the essential and asset criteria (Education and Experience). Please note that it is not sufficient to simply state that the requirement is met or to provide a listing of current responsibilities; rather, the applicant must provide concrete examples illustrating the activities they have actually performed and how those activities meet the requirement. Failure to clearly demonstrate how you meet the essential criteria (Education and Experience) will result in the rejection of your application.

Please note that the assessment board will not make any assumptions regarding the information provided for work experience. Applicants will not be solicited for incomplete or missing information. Applications that do not clearly demonstrate that the candidate meets the screening criteria will not be given further consideration.

Work environment

With over 15,000 employees working across Canada, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is the nation’s second largest law enforcement organization, working 24/7 to protect Canada's borders by preventing high-risk people and goods from crossing into Canada while facilitating legitimate trade and travel.

Launched in 2019, the National Integrity Centre of Expertise (NICE) brings together the Office of Harassment and Violence Prevention and Resolution (OHVPR) and the Office of Values and Ethics (OVE). Our mission is to provide confidential, impartial and informal services where all employees feel comfortable to raise, discuss and resolve work-related issues through informal and formal approaches without the fear of reprisal while acting as an agent of positive change to support and promote an ethical organizational culture.

Intent of the process

ANTICIPATORY: A pool of partially or fully qualified candidates may be established to staff future vacancies with various tenures and linguistic profiles at the Canada Border Services Agency's National Integrity Centre of Expertise (NICE). The pool could also be used to staff other similar positions within CBSA.

Remote working and teleworking agreement may be available. Such arrangements are to be evaluated on a case by case basis and will need to be discussed with the hiring manager.

EDUCATION
Graduation with a degree from a recognized post-secondary institution with acceptable specialization in human resources management, labour or industrial relations, psychology, public or business administration, organizational development, education sciences, social sciences, sociology, or in any other field relevant to the work to be performed.

Notes:
1. Indeterminate incumbents of PE positions and of positions in the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions and in Indian Oil and Gas Canada that are equivalent to PE positions on October 1, 1999, who do not possess the education level prescribed above, are deemed to meet the minimum education standard based on their education, training and/or experience. They must be accepted as having met the minimum education standard whenever this standard is called for when staffing PE positions and positions in the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions and Indian Oil and Gas Canada that are equivalent to PE positions. This note also applies to persons appointed or deployed, for an indeterminate period, to PE positions after that date as the result of staffing transactions started before October 1, 1999. The positions in the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions and in Indian Oil and Gas Canada that are equivalent to PE positions are those that meet the Treasury Board definition for the PE occupational group.
2. The courses for the specialization must be acceptable and must have been taken at a recognized post-secondary institution, but not necessarily within a degree program in the required specialization.
3. An acceptable combination of education, training and/or experience, that is comparable to a degree from a recognized post-secondary institution with specialization relevant to the work to be performed, may serve as an alternative to meet the minimum education standard. Whenever the minimum education standard is met through this alternative, it is met only for the position being staffed, and candidates must be re-assessed for future appointments or deployments where the manager has decided to use this alternative.
