Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is looking to staff admin, officer and screener jobs across the country.

You don't need a university degree or a college diploma to get hired.

These positions are with the CRA's appeals branch and in the Services and Programs occupational group, which includes work areas like planning, budgeting, and finance.

You can submit an application for this staffing process that'll be used to fill positions at CRA offices in the National Capital Region, Quebec, Ontario, the Atlantic region and the western region.

Since the CRA currently has hiring restrictions in place, these will be temporary opportunities. But there is the potential for permanent placement.

You must have a secondary school diploma or a CRA-approved alternative.

But certain SP-05 positions may require you to have completed studies at a post-secondary institution or professional accounting association, or have completed Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) Intermediate Financial Reporting 2, FA3, Intermediate Financial Accounting 2 or Intermediate Accounting 2 courses.

You must have experience creating and formatting documents with various administrative tools and software, and/or experience providing client service, and/or experience multitasking and prioritizing workloads for the Administrative Assistant, Administrative Support Officer, Appeals Officer and Taxpayer Relief Screener/Officer positions.

For the Budget Analysis Officer, CPP/EI Appeals Officer, Appeals Tech Adv ITA/CPP/EI, Appeals Officer and Senior Taxpayer Relief Officer positions, you need experience within the CRA or experience providing assistance and information to multiple partners, experience applying policies and procedures, and experience multitasking and prioritizing workloads.

You must be willing to work overtime, travel and complete any required training.
