Our Public Service is proud of its diversity and strives to be representative of the population it serves. Our vision is to make Canada’s public service the most accessible and inclusive in the world and we have an Accessibility Strategy that aims to identify, prevent, and remove barriers to participation for persons with disabilities.
This recruitment campaign is a part of this Strategy, as we aim to recruit persons with disabilities with a wide range of scientific training and match them with a variety of positions in the Biological Sciences across Canada.
Our Candidates
Through this campaign, we aim to recruit the brightest minds from a variety of scientific education and training, who also identify as a person with disabilities, for positions in the Biological Sciences from coast to coast to coast.
According to the Employment Equity Act, persons with disabilities have a long-term or recurring physical, mental, sensory, psychological or learning impairment.
Examples of disabilities, whether visible or non-visible, could include:

- deaf or hard of hearing (unable to hear or difficulty in hearing)

Our accommodation process: For you to perform at your best
We offer various assessment accommodation measures that aims to remove barriers to a fair assessment and allow candidates to fully demonstrate their competency. The accommodations can be a change made to an assessment procedure, format or content, without altering the qualification being assessed nor the proficiency level required,
Most of the people who request assessment accommodation do it based on a disability. However, accommodation can be requested for any legitimate need relating to one of the 13 prohibited grounds for discrimination set out in the Canadian Human Rights Act.
To be accommodated based on a disability, you will need to provide us with information related to your functional limitations, which can be temporary, permanent, visible or invisible. In many cases, you may only need to fill out a simple form. You only need to let us know how your functional limitations may affect the assessment, and not the exact diagnosis.
If you have a disability-related functional limitation or a personal situation that may impact your performance during the selection process, whether a test or an interview, we encourage you contact us via the email address listed below. We will work with you to determine the most appropriate accommodations for your needs.
