The salary for this Canada Post job is $22.24 an hour.

You will sort mail items into batches, operate mail-processing equipment, transport mail between floors or sections, check mail items to make sure the address and postage are correct and enter data into a computer.

To get the job, you need to be able to work flexible shifts from November 15, 2022, to January 15, 2023.

You don't need experience or a degree to get hired but you must be able to bend, reach, lift and carry items, stand in one place for up to three and a half hours at a time and read, write and speak English and/or French.

Postal Clerks for the holiday season get paid $22.24 an hour, Letter Carriers get $22.24 an hour, Volume Counters earn $18.95 an hour and Post Office Assistants get between $19.46 and $27.41 an hour.

Is Canada Post a government job?

Canada Post is a Crown corporation that's owned by the federal government and regulations set out by the feds must be followed for Canada Post to have the "privilege of collecting and delivering letters and packages to Canadians."

So, while you won't find Canada Post openings on the federal government's job board, positions with the national mail carrier could be considered government of Canada jobs.
