Latest Updates(January 6th 2023) - We are still screening applications. We have begun sending results. The rest will follow in the coming weeks. Please visit your GCJobs profile and check your email for your results. If your application is selected for further consideration, you will be asked to provide proof of education and specialization (transcript) later in the recruitment process. Please ensure that you have a copy of your transcript or diploma on hand. If you studied abroad, you must have your credentials assessed against Canadian education standards. This will allow you to provide proof that your foreign credentials are comparable to Canadian standards. We recommend that you begin this process in advance as the evaluation process may take several weeks. Please consult the following link for detailed information: Foreign Credential Validation against Canadian Standards. |
