Do you have an air of mystery to you and a love of James Bond films?

Unfortunately, Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) hasn't posted any spy job listings, but they do have a good variety of high-paying jobs located in Ontario up for grabs.

So if you're interested in a government job that can pay you up to $100K a year, you may want to brush up your resume.

Although if your heart was set on having a movie magic moment, don't be discouraged.

Just because you may be applying for a senior role in technology or policy doesn't mean some secrecy won't be involved.

The CSIS warns all applicants to keep their application under wraps, and to not discuss it on social media or with anyone other than their close family or partner.

Even then, you'll want to tell your inner "circle of trust," as Jack Byrnes would say to be "discreet."
