Note: The CRTC works in a hybrid environment within the borders of Canada. Although some jobs can be performed from anywhere across Canada, most positions require either a physical presence in our offices in Gatineau, Quebec OR the ability on short notice to attend various meetings and work activities at our offices. Notwithstanding, all qualified candidates are encouraged to apply.

Work environment

Are you looking for a challenging and dynamic job in which you can make a difference in the lives of Canadians? A job at the CRTC might be for you.

The CRTC is an administrative tribunal of approximately 550 employees that operates at arm’s length from the federal government. CRTC employees are public servants who ensure that the Commission regulates in the public interest. Led by our Chairperson, with the support of Vice-chairpersons and regional Commissioners, we are dedicated to ensuring that Canadians have access to a world-class communication system that promotes innovation and enriches their lives. We regulate and supervise broadcasting and telecommunication services.

Telecommunications services are at the core of our every day lives. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the services we regulate have become more important than ever. Canadian telecommunications revenues totaled $53.4 billion in 2020, as Canadians used ever-increasing amounts of data through both broadband Internet access and mobile wireless services. As a result, our work to bring more competition and investment in the marketplace, as well as to ensure Canadians have access to high-quality broadband Internet access and mobile wireless services, are critical to CRTC’s mandate.

CRTC is ranked in the top 10% best places to work for in the Canadian Public Service, according to the 2020 Public Service Employee Survey.
