Note:

  • About security checks:
    A criminal or other federal offence record does not automatically disqualify you from the position. We consider each situation based on the position's responsibilities.
    If a check is needed and you've lived outside of Canada in the past 5 years for 6 or more months in a row, or if you are not a Canadian resident, you'll need to provide an out-of-country police clearance certificate from the country you lived in.
    Employment screening checks are only reviewed and evaluated by the Transition and Security Office, which also maintains them and keeps them strictly confidential.
