If you have a limitation that may impact your performance at any steps of the assessment process (such as during a written test or an interview), you may request an accommodation. Assessment accommodations are designed to remove barriers, and to ensure that candidates with limitations can fully demonstrate their abilities. Should you wish to be accommodated, please direct your inquiry to the contact identified at the bottom of this poster. All information received in relation to accommodation will be kept confidential.

When you apply to this selection process, you are not applying for a specific job, but to an inventory for future vacancies. As positions become available, applicants who meet the qualifications may be contacted for further assessment.
This process is an "inventory" which allows you to submit your application over a period of two (2) years. The evaluation of applications will be done continuously and in stages, starting with the validation of experience and education. Depending on our operational needs, candidates who meet the required experience and education will be contacted to be formally assessed. Candidates who meet the essential qualifications mentioned below will be included in the pool of partially qualified candidates.
All candidates will be evaluated in order to validate their experience and education, regardless of the date of submission. A candidate who applies in the first weeks of the opening of this inventory will not have priority over a candidate who applies later.
Please note that a first extraction of candidacies will be completed on September 19th, 2023.
