Conditions of employment

Security Clearance:

- Reliability
- Enhanced Reliability Status
- Secret and Top Secret
(dependent on the position being staffed)

Failure to obtain this security clearance means either the candidate will not receive a job offer or the conditional offer will be rendered null and void. A thorough security clearance process will be applied to all candidates considered for an appointment; this process includes inquiries, verifications and assessments regarding matters such as, but not limited to:

• criminal record checks
• reference checks
• previous employment
• open source checks
• credit/financial status

For a secret security clearance, the verification of background information over a period of 10 years is typically required. Many of the verifications require support from third parties whose timelines are outside of TBS’s control. Overall, the process may take several weeks or months to complete. For further information, you may wish to review the TB Standard on Security Screening and the Policy on Government Security.

Other information

The Public Service of Canada is committed to building a skilled and diverse workforce that reflects the Canadians we serve. We promote employment equity and encourage you to indicate if you belong to one of the designated groups when you apply.

Information on employment equity

If this process is for an acting appointment, the Public Service Employment Regulations allow a federal government organization to exclude an appointee from having the official language proficiency indicated in the job advertisement. Exclusion from this requirement can occur when the department is unable to fill a position with a candidate who meets the language proficiency indicated for the position. We encourage all interested candidates to apply, as candidates who do not meet the specified language proficiency may still be considered.

We will communicate with you about this process by email. As a result, you must update your Public Service Resourcing System profile if it changes. Applicants should use an email address that accepts messages from unknown senders (some email systems block such messages).
If you do not respond to our communications, we will interpret this as your withdrawal from the process.

• Reference checks may be sought.

• A test may be administered.
• An assignment, secondment, or acting appointment requires approval of your supervisor.
