CRA Hiring
These positions are specifically with the CRA’s appeals branch and in the Services and Programs occupational group. They’re currently filling positions all across their CRA offices in the National Capital Region, which includes the western region’s locations of Kelowna, Surrey, Vancouver, and Victoria.
The staffing process is aiming to hire people at the SP-04 and SP-05 job levels. Each job level has subcategories within it, with specific positions detailed. But there are some general requirements that both SP-04 and SP-05 have, such as applicants having to be either Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Veterans will also be given appointment preference, followed by Canadian citizens and then permanent residents.
While you do not need a post-secondary degree to apply, the CRA asks you to have a successfully-completed secondary school diploma or CRA-approved alternative. Do note that for certain SP-05 positions, further education may be required, such as specific fields of study from a post-secondary institution.
Candidates must also have relevant experience for the position they are applying to, which the CRA defines as “associated with the performance of these functions as part of the major job duties accomplished for a period of at least three (3) cumulative months within the last year.”
