• The intent of the process is to create an inventory of candidates that will be used to staff RELIEF positions on a term (temporary) basis for the Canadian Coast Guard in the Central and Arctic Region – Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Sector. This work is not permanent; but accepting short term opportunities allows you to apply to permanent positions. 
• CCG will periodically review the applications received and contact only those successful applicants.  Applications will not be reviewed or assessed until ALL portions of the application (uploading of documents, reference check and language assessment) are completed.

• Preference will be given to Canadian Forces veterans and to Canadian citizens, in that order. Given this preference and that this is a high volume hiring process, applications from non-Canadian citizens will not be accepted at this time. Should your citizenship status change, please re-apply at that time.
• The Public Service of Canada is committed to building a skilled, diverse workforce reflective of Canadian society. As a result, it promotes employment equity and encourages candidates to indicate voluntarily on their application if they are a woman, an Aboriginal person, a person with a disability or a member of a visible minority group.
