How to Find Legit Government of Canada Jobs from Outside the Country?

[albertsdesua]

Hi everyone,


I'm currently exploring opportunities to move (back) to Canada and am especially interested in Government of Canada Jobs—whether federal, provincial, or municipal. I know some positions are open to international applicants or those with PR, but it’s hard to find everything in one place.


I recently came across a site that lists verified openings across departments: governmentofcanadajobs.com — has anyone here used it? It seems to compile listings from multiple sources.


Also, if anyone has tips on how to get into the federal stream (like IRCC, CBSA, etc.), or how competitive those roles are for newcomers, I’d appreciate the insight!


Thanks in advance.

Hi! Yes, Government of Canada Jobs is a useful resource—it aggregates verified openings across federal, provincial, and municipal levels, making it easier to see opportunities in one place.

For federal roles like IRCC or CBSA, most positions require Canadian citizenship or PR, and the competition can be high, especially for newcomers. A good approach is to tailor your resume to the public service competencies, regularly check the official job portals, and consider entry-level or development programs to get your foot in the door
