Indigenous Students – Do you want to work at the CRA?

Overview

Who is the Canada Revenue Agency?
If you’re studying Accounting you may already know a little bit about us, but you should also know that we are more than just taxes! Our students work in a variety of programs, including Scientific Research and Development, Human Resources, Client Services, Community Outreach, Information Technology and Criminal Investigations. Our jobs are a great place to improve your communication skills, learn to handle difficult situations and sharpen your written communication, no matter what you are currently studying.
“I first applied to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) through the Indigenous Student Employment Program in 2019 as a music major hoping to get an office summer job. I was nervous on my first day, but quickly realized that CRA has a great work environment. I feel supported by colleagues and management, I have an excellent work-life balance, and I feel fulfilled by my work. The CRA has provided me the flexibility to pursue my education goals while working with them. Three years later, I am still working for the Agency. I strongly encourage any Indigenous students to apply.”
- Tyrell Loster Peitzsche (2022)
