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 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.
