IMPORTANT:

On October 6, 2021, the Government of Canada announced details of its plans to require vaccination across the federal public service.

This requirement applies whether they are teleworking, working remotely, or on-site.

Accommodation requests will be assessed on a case-by case basis and will be limited to employees who are unable to be vaccinated due to a certified medical disability, religion or any other prohibited ground of discrimination as defined in the Canadian Human Rights Act (CHRA).

Due to the nature of our work, please do not discuss your application with others (e.g., on social media) besides your partners or your close family members and your employer. These individuals should also be advised about the need to be discreet.
