📝 When submitting your application, you will have to answer questions regarding the education and experience requirements for the position to staff. You must clearly demonstrate with specific examples how you meet these requirements.
📢 As we value authenticity and transparency in all interactions, candidates are strongly cautioned that any indication of AI use in their responses will result in an investigation of their responses and may be processed as fraudulent activity.

🎓 If you were educated outside of Canada, you must have your certificates and/or diplomas assessed against Canadian education standards.

📃 An inventory advertisement allows a continuous intake of applications, over as long a period as desired. Once a candidate has submitted their application it will stay active in the inventory (assuming it meets the essential screening criteria) for 180 days. At the end of that period, candidates will need to refresh their application to ensure it stays active in the inventory. 15 days prior to the end of the180 day period, candidates will receive a notice to their PSRS profile instructing them that their application will expire unless it is refreshed. Candidates are also able to withdraw their application from the inventory anytime they desire.
