Federal Government Jobs Overview

If you’ve always wanted a job that is both enjoyable and societally beneficial, then you may want to consider federal government jobs.

When you work for the government, you can pursue a rewarding career while also providing invaluable services to Canadians nationwide.

Canadian government jobs often pay well and come with highly desirable benefits packages. They are part of the general Canadian public sector, which, according to government statistics make up 20 percent of all jobs held in Canada. Traditionally many federal jobs are office-based. These roles can consist of administrative assistants, cybersecurity experts, and analysts.

However, as the government is so far-reaching and diverse, you can also expect to find many roles outside of clerical work. Test pilots, mechanics, research scientists, and interpreters (just to name a few) are all hired within the federal government.
