Duties

Work environment

Statistics Canada is dedicated to an inclusive work environment where employees are treated equitably and reflect the Canadian population we ultimately serve. We are a competent, engaged and productive workforce. We embrace new ways of working and encourage a diversity of talent to help fulfill Statistics Canada’s mandate to the highest standards.

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.

Intent of the process

This staffing process will be used to staff various CR-04 positions, or equivalents, for which the duration of employment, language and security requirements, conditions of employment and work locations will vary according to the position to be staffed.

Please also note that, depending on the position to be filled, asset qualifications mentioned in this posting may be required for the job and therefore considered essential qualifications. In addition, other qualifications, whether essential or asset, may be added depending on the position to be filled.

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.

Your résumé will only be used as a secondary source to validate the experience described in your answers to the Public Service Resourcing System (PSRS) screening questionnaire and will not be used as the source document for candidate screening. Candidates will not be solicited for incomplete or possible missing information.

The competency written communication could be assessed with your application.

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

Successful candidate(s) must meet and maintain the Conditions of Employment throughout their employment.

Some appointments of successful candidates will be made under the Statistics Canada Census and Survey Related Term Employment Exclusion Approval Order (EAO) and Regulations.

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.

HOW TO APPLY

All information obtained throughout the selection process, from application to closing, may be used to evaluate candidates, including their ability to communicate effectively in writing.

When submitting their application, candidates are asked to answer screening questions. They must clearly demonstrate in this 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. Failure to clearly demonstrate in your responses how you meet the screening criteria (Education, Essential Experience and Asset experience) could result in the rejection of your application. Inconsistencies in the application package may result in your submission being rejected. Furthermore, the content of your response must be supported by your CV / resume as your responses to these questions will be used as a primary source of information and your CV / resume will only be used to validate this information.

A good way to proceed with the development of your example would be to use the STAR model :

S – Situation : Describe the situation and provide all relevant details.

T – Task : What tasks did you have to perform? What needed to be done to resolve the situation?

A – Actions : What did you do to resolve the situation and why did you choose this action plan? Did you consider other options? Why weren’t those options chosen?

R – Results : What was the outcome of the actions you took? What could you have done differently? Did you achieve your goals?

SELECTION OF WORK LOCATION(S)

Please note that your selection of the work location(s) may be used to filter candidates based on available job locations. Therefore, we encourage you select the work location(s) that you are interested in.
