Career Hub for the Priority Talent Pool

We’ve gathered tools and resources to support your job search as a person with a priority entitlement. You can find information such as résumé-building tips, how to write a cover letter, where to find job postings and much more.

These tools and resources are intended to support a positive job search experience to help you find a new public service position as a person with a priority entitlement. We recommend that you take advantage of all opportunities to create connections with hiring departments and managers by taking part in all career fairs and networking events, as well as taking advantage of the available courses to support your job search.

The length of the hiring process can vary based on several factors, such as the requirements of the position, the time of year, the availability of the hiring manager and much more. Don’t let this discourage you: continue to apply to all opportunities that strike your interest and for which you feel qualified.

Please refer to our “Additional Resources” page for the appropriate contact information based on your needs.

We encourage you to send us your suggestions and feedback so that we can tailor this platform to your needs as much as possible. Please feel free to connect with the Priority Entitlements Program at: cfp.ap-info-pa.psc@cfp-psc.gc.ca

A person with a priority entitlement who accepts a term position will continue to be identified for job opportunities for which they may be qualified until the end of the entitlement period, or until they accept an indeterminate position.

Self-referral is when persons with a priority entitlement identify themselves to a department or an agency as having the right to priority consideration for a job opportunity for which the Priority Information Management System has not identified them. Once persons with a priority entitlement identify themselves as requesting priority consideration for a job opportunity, they are entitled to the same priority consideration as if they had been identified by the system.

The priority portal provides you with access to your priority profile. To learn more about it, review the Priority Portal page.

We provide virtual interactive orientation sessions that allow you to learn more about the priority entitlements program and other helpful tools. Visit the Priority Entitlements Orientation Page for more information.
