Apply on a process on GC Jobs

  1. Look for a job in the occupational group for which you are eligible and interested. See "Know Your Occupational Group" in the ⭐ The Basics of Starting Your GC Career section above to learn more.
  2. Turn on job alerts so you don't miss out on any new opportunities that may interest you. Check out the GC Jobs page for more details.
  3. Check the "Who can apply" section, language requirements, and types of jobs offered (students wishing to start their career can apply only on an "Indeterminate" or "Term") before opening the job ad.
  4. Once you have verified your eligibility, check the essential qualifications. You will need to justify in the screening questions (answer using the STAR technique) that you meet these essential qualifications in order to proceed to the next step in the process.


📚 Differences between a selection process, a pool and an inventory/directory


There is a big difference between a selection process, a pool and an inventory/directory. We invite you to visit the Government of Canada page for more information.

You are in a selection process when you have applied for a job and are still in the process of making assessments (screening questions, interviews, tests).

At the end of some selection processes, a pool (list) of qualified or partially qualified candidates is created to fill similar positions. Check the "Job Intent" section of the GC Jobs advertisements to validate whether or not a pool has been created. This means that you have demonstrated during the selection process that you meet the essential qualifications and competencies as defined in the Statement of Merit Criteria (essential qualifications, skills, conditions of employment, etc.).

You may be in a pool when you have completed all steps of a selection process but are not the nominated/selected candidate for the position. This means that you are qualified for the given group and level. You have demonstrated during the selection process that you meet the qualifications of the Statement of Merit Criteria (essential qualifications, competencies, conditions of employment, etc.). The advantage of being qualified in a pool is that you can network to find a job and the hiring process is faster since you have already demonstrated that you meet the statement of merit criteria.

The advantage of being qualified in a pool is that you can now network your way into a job. The hiring process is generally faster since you have already demonstrated that you meet the essential qualifications outlined in the Statement of Merit Criteria. We encourage you to consider the following networking opportunities:

  • Facebook Groups (GC - |...| Informal)
  • Network on LinkedIn
  • Network of contacts
  • Inventories and directories on GC Jobs

As for inventories/directories, they are generally intended to help you network to find a job in a non-advertised way (without applying to a process). By being part of an inventory/directory, you are on a list that does not necessarily qualify you.

We encourage you to consult the career development resources of the Federal Youth Network (FYN).
