Work environment

The Agency has adopted a common hybrid work model that aligns with the Federal Public Sector. Depending on the role, some positions require full-time on-site presence, while others allow for a potential mix of onsite and telework to leverage the best of both in-person and virtual work. Flexible arrangements may be discussed during the hiring process, depending on position-specific operational requirements.

Intent of the process

This process will be used to staff emergency terms only, i.e. the temporary appointment of a person to support an emergency response. Emergency terms must meet the minimum requirements of the position, i.e. required levels of education/occupational certification, official languages, security and other conditions of employment. Other qualifications may be a deciding factor in choosing the person to be appointed.

Individuals who have been appointed to the CFIA as an emergency term are not eligible to be a rehired term and any subsequent non-emergency appointment must be made in the context of another type of staffing action.
