Who is the Canada Revenue Agency?

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)

Assessment
If you have a limitation that may impact your performance during an assessment, such as a test or interview, you may require an accommodation, and we encourage you to ask for it. Assessment accommodations are designed to remove the obstacles without altering the criteria being assessed so candidates with limitations can fully demonstrate their abilities. If we invite you to be assessed, we will send you more information on how to request accommodation measures throughout this staffing process.

Each request will be individually reviewed. You will be asked to provide information regarding your limitations to be reviewed by a trained assessment accommodation advisor. If needed, professional documentation may be requested to determine the appropriate accommodation measures. All information will be kept confidential.
