When you apply to this selection process, you are not applying for a specific job, but to an inventory for future vacancies. As positions become available, applicants who meet the qualifications may be contacted for further assessment.


When required, various assessment accommodation measures or adjustments are available to you, at every stage of the process (from application submission to the end of the assessment process). They aim to remove barriers to a fair assessment and allow candidates to fully demonstrate their competencies. 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.



The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools (for example, Copilot, ChatGPT or any other form of AI) is permitted. However, you must explicitly disclose when you use such tools in your answers by identifying the AI-generated content and its source. You may be asked to explain or elaborate on your answers in a follow-up interview. If you fail to disclose your use of AI tools or if you use AI tools inappropriately, it may result in an investigation and serious consequences, including the rejection of your application.



By submitting my application, I acknowledge that I have read, understood and accept the integrity terms outlined above. I certify that I have clearly disclosed any use of AI and identified the AI-generated content and its source.

Work environment

--------------------


Statistics Canada is committed to hiring and promoting a skilled and diversified workforce representative of the population it serves. In order to achieve this representative workforce, preference will be given to candidates who, at the time of application, indicate that they are belonging to one of the following Employment Equity groups (self-declaration): Indigenous peoples, Women, Visible Minorities and Persons with Disabilities.



Statistics Canada conducts the Census of Population in order to develop a statistical portrait of Canada and Canadians on one specific day. The census is designed to provide information about people and housing units in Canada by their demographic, social and economic characteristics.



The Census of Population is a reliable basis for the estimation of the population of the provinces, territories and municipal areas. The information collected is related to federal and provincial legislative measures and provides a basis for the distribution of federal transfer payments. The census also provides information about the characteristics of the population and its housing within small geographic areas and for small population groups to support planning, administration, policy development and evaluation activities of governments at all levels, as well as data users in the private sector.

Information on employment equity


A random selection and/or top-down selection may be used at any moment of the process to manage the number of candidates; and/or a volume management strategy may be used at any point during the process, in order to determine the number of candidates to be further considered.



Candidates may be required to meet the asset qualifications or the organizational needs, depending on the requirements of the specific position being staffed. Meeting one or many of the asset qualifications may be a deciding factor in appointing a particular candidate amongst the qualified candidates. Please note that some or all of the asset qualifications could be used at the screening phase.



Please identify clearly your substantive group and level and your employment status on your resume and/or application form.



Candidates with foreign credentials must provide proof of Canadian equivalency. Consult the Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials for further information at http ://www.cicic.ca/



Candidates must provide their proof of education credentials, in the form of a diploma or official transcripts (original documents only) at a later time in the process.



For this selection process, it is our intention to communicate with candidates via email for screening and assessment purposes. This will include communication of results and invitations to assessments. To that end, candidates must ensure a valid email address is included in their application. It is the candidate's responsibility to ensure that this address is functional and that it accepts messages from unknown users (some email systems block these types of email) and frequently check their inbox and JUNK/SPAM folders. It is also the candidate's responsibility to ensure accurate information is provided and updated as required.



If you do not respond to our communications, we will interpret this as your withdrawal from the process.



ASSESSMENTS:



The competency written communication will be assessed with your application.


Candidates may be required to meet the asset qualifications depending on the requirements of the specific position being staffed. Other qualifications may be taken into consideration in the selection decision. A random selection and/or top-down selection may be used at any moment of the process to manage the number of candidates; and/or a volume management strategy may be used at any point during the process, in order to determine the number of candidates to be further considered.



Candidates must clearly demonstrate in the screening questionnaire how they meet the education and experience criteria listed in the Essential Qualifications and Asset Qualifications. Please note that stating that the requirement has been met or listing past or current responsibilities does not represent adequate substantiation. Rather, you must provide concrete examples that clearly illustrate how you meet the requirement.



An interview will take place. References may be sought.



Persons are entitled to participate in the appointment process in the official language of their choice (English or French).



Some appointments of successful candidates will be made under the Statistics Canada Census and Survey Related Term Employment Exclusion Approval Order (EAO) and Regulations. Persons appointed under the EAO as a result of this process will be subject to the provisions of the Public Service Employment Act with some exceptions:

You will not be eligible for internal appointment processes or deployments, except for acting appointments and deployments made to positions excluded by the Statistics Canada Census and Survey Related Term Employment Exclusion Approval Order (EAO). You will not be eligible for indeterminate status as a result of your employment in the Census program; time spent as an excluded employee will not count towards the three-year term to indeterminate conversion. You will be entitled to seven days' notice if you are rejected on probation. You will be entitled to seven days' notice when your employment ends, should your services no longer be required by reason of lack of work, the end of the census cycle or the transfer of work to other staff.


Depending on the requirements of the position(s) being staffed from this process, for current or future vacancies, any or all of the asset qualifications, operational requirements, and organizational needs may be applied at the time of staffing. Candidates may be contacted and assessed against these criteria at any time during this process.
