If you're a student looking for work in 2025, the federal government is planning to hire throughout this year.
Government of Canada student jobs are available through the Federal Student Work Experience Program (FSWEP).
The FSWEP offers full-time and part-time jobs to high school and post-secondary students in administration, finance, IT, communications, and more across Canada.
With the FSWEP, you apply to an inventory that's open year-round and accessible by more than 200 federal government departments and agencies.
So, you could get selected for a job at any time during the year!
You are eligible to apply for the FSWEP if:
- you are a full-time high school, CEGEP, college or university student
- you are returning to full-time studies in the next academic year
- you meet the minimum age requirement in the province/territory of work
While job applications are accepted all year for general FSWEP positions, there are a few specific summer 2025 jobs that you can apply for too. That includes:
- Student Capital Ambassador
- Student Guide-Interpreter, Residence of the Governor General at Rideau Hall
- Student Guide-Interpreter, Residence of the Governor General at the Citadelle of Quebec
- G7 Summit Team
These are the FSWEP rates of pay:
- high school students — $17.36 an hour
- college/CEGEP students — $17.36 to $23.03 an hour
- university undergraduate students — $18.42 to $25.87 an hour
- university master's students — $24.62 to $30.99 an hour
- university doctorate students — $28.99 to $37.53 an hour
If the provincial or territorial minimum wage is higher than the maximum offered for your academic level, you'll earn the provincial or territorial minimum wage rate.
