When you apply to a GC Jobs process, you go through several assessments (screening questions, interview, second language tests, etc.) to ensure that you meet the Statement of Merit Criteria. At the end of the process, there may be 10 candidates qualified for the job, but only one position available. Therefore, qualified applicants who were not selected have a reference number showing that they qualified for, for example, an AS-03 job. | When you apply to a GC Jobs process, you go through several assessments (screening questions, interview, second language tests, etc.) to ensure that you meet the Statement of Merit Criteria.
