The CRA is committed to providing an inclusive and barrier-free work environment with a diverse workforce that reflects the Canadians we serve. It starts with the hiring process. To find out more about the CRA's actions in support of Employment Equity (EE), diversity and inclusion (DI), and read testimonials from our employees and executives, please visit the following CRA web sites: Employment equity, diversity and inclusion and Our workforce testimonials - Canada.ca.

We encourage you to complete the EEDI Staffing questionnaire as part of your application if you wish to be considered for appointments using the EE and/or DI staffing requirement in this process. Also, ensure that you have provided consent in the EEDI staffing questionnaire for your EEDI information to be used for screening or selection. If you do not complete the questionnaire, you will not be considered for any appointments using the EE and/or DI staffing requirement in this process. If you decide to modify your response or fill out this questionnaire at a later date, please notify the contact listed at the bottom of this notice of job opportunity.

What is the purpose of this process?

We are currently seeking talented Indigenous* candidates to fill positions at various levels within the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and the federal Public Service.

*By "Indigenous persons" we mean any person who identifies as a North American Indian or a member of a First Nation, Metis Nation or Inuit. North American Indians or members of a First Nation include Status Indians, Treaty Indians and Non-Status Indians.

CRA's National Employment Equity (EE) Staffing Strategy strives to eliminate gaps for the four EE designated groups: Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and women. Where an EE gap exists at the time of appointment, EE may be used as an appointment criterion for permanent and temporary appointments over six months made through this process.

The CRA has introduced the requirement for on-site presence including hybrid work models where employees are required to work on-site at a CRA-approved location a minimum of two days per week or 40% of their regular monthly work schedule. A number of individual and group exceptions to on-site presence may be granted based on individual situations and the nature of the work being performed. Work arrangement agreements and specific circumstances may be discussed with the manager at the time of hiring.

This staffing process will be used to fill various positions:

• Various SP-03 and SP-04 positions (click here for more information on the positions);
• Language requirement: bilingual imperative (for all positions);
• Full-time or part-time;
• Telecommuting or face-to-face in one of the following offices: Brossard, Chicoutimi, Gatineau, Jonquière, Laval, Montreal, Quebec City, Rimouski, Rouyn-Noranda, Shawinigan, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières.

If a candidate has already been dismissed or discharged on probation by the Agency, please note that additional checks will be carried out. Depending on the reasons for dismissal or discharge, a candidate may not be considered for staffing or appointment, as they may not meet one or more of the staffing requirements.

If you require accommodations at any point in this process, we encourage you to indicate this in your questionnaire when you apply, or contact the person mentioned at the bottom of this notice. Your request will be treated confidentially.

Minimum staffing requirements

Education

• Successful completion of at least three years of high school for SP-03 positions OR successful completion of at least one high school diploma for SP-04 positions OR CRA-approved alternatives.

You must upload your proof of education in the Education section of your Candidate profile by the closing date and time indicated on this poster. Failure to do so will result in your application being rejected.

Essential staffing requirement

• You'll need to pass the pre-selection questionnaire: When you apply, you'll be asked to complete a pre-selection questionnaire. You'll need to score 6/10 in order to move on to the next stage. Candidates with 5 or fewer correct answers will automatically be excluded from the hiring process. To help you complete the questionnaire, please consult the following link: Canada Revenue Agency - Canada.ca.

If you have a limitation that may impact your performance during an assessment, such as a test or interview, you may require an accommodation, and we encourage you to ask for it. Assessment accommodations are designed to remove the obstacles without altering the criteria being assessed so candidates with limitations can fully demonstrate their abilities. If we invite you to be assessed, we will send you more information on how to request accommodation measures throughout this staffing process.

Each request will be individually reviewed. You will be asked to provide information regarding your limitations to be reviewed by a trained assessment accommodation advisor. If needed, professional documentation may be requested to determine the appropriate accommodation measures.  All information will be kept confidential. 

For examples of assessment accommodations, please visit: Accommodation during an assessment as a candidate.
