Appointment opportunities

All applicants, both new and returning, must create a profile to apply to appointment opportunities. Once set up, the profile can be used to apply to positions without having to re-enter information each time.

Appointment opportunities will be posted in due course. Should you require assistance in creating a new profile, please contact us.

We know that our country is stronger - and our government more effective - when decision-makers reflect Canada’s diversity. The Government of Canada has implemented an appointment process that is transparent and merit-based, strives for gender parity, and seeks to ensure that Indigenous peoples and minority groups are properly represented in positions of leadership. We continue to search for Canadians who reflect the values that we all embrace: inclusion, honesty, fiscal prudence, and generosity of spirit. Together, we will build a government as diverse as Canada.

We are equally committed to providing a healthy workplace that supports everyone’s dignity, self-esteem and the ability to work to each team member's full potential. With this in mind, all appointees will be expected to take steps to promote and maintain a healthy, respectful and harassment-free work environment.
