About the job

Don't miss out on your opportunity to work for one of the Top 100 Employers in Canada!

Who is the Canada Revenue Agency?


If you're studying Accounting you may already know a little bit about us, but you should also know that we are more than just taxes! Our students work in a variety of programs, including Scientific Research and Development, Human Resources, Client Services, Community Outreach, Information Technology and Criminal Investigations. Our jobs are a great place to improve your communication skills, learn to handle difficult situations and sharpen your written communication, no matter what you are currently studying.


Why work with us?


As part of our Indigenous Student Employment Program, you will join a community of Indigenous students who are working towards their education and career goals.  Through working at the CRA, you will:

  • grow your professional network,
  • refine your skills and learn new ones,
  • gain experience working in an office environment,
  • have a work-life balance through flexible work hours; and
  • do meaningful and valuable work that matters to Canadians.

"I started with the CRA as an ISEP student in the summer of 2019. I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into, as I am a Human Resources major, not an accountant. Little did I know that the CRA is MUCH more than just taxes! Everyone that I have encountered has been so helpful and supportive. I feel fortunate to be a part of a fantastic team. I am learning so much and having fun while doing it. I would encourage all Indigenous students to apply – you won't regret it." – Cynthia Chambers

Job Opportunities


When you apply to this staffing process, you are not applying to a specific job, but to an inventory. No prior experience is necessary. Our goal is to match you to a position that will allow you to develop skills related to your education/experience or to a position that aligns with your field of study.

Offers will be made on an ongoing basis, starting with opportunities for the Spring and Summer 2021 work terms. We encourage you to apply as early as possible!

This staffing process will be used to staff student positions in the following locations:

  • British Columbia: Vancouver, Surrey, Victoria, Kelowna, Penticton & Prince George
  • Alberta: Calgary & Edmonton
  • Saskatchewan: Regina & Saskatoon
  • Manitoba: Winnipeg

If you are residing elsewhere than within a commuting distance of the locations listed above, you will have to pay for any expenses related to your participation in this staffing process, as well as any relocation costs if you receive an offer of employment from this process.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, public health recommendations and restrictions are in place across Canada and may change as circumstances evolve. You may be required to temporarily work remotely (eg. from home). Further information will be provided if you are matched for a position.
