Canada expands hiring for entry-level jobs nationwide; no degree required
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has launched a nationwide recruitment drive for administrative and appeals positions that do not require a university degree, seeking candidates with only a high school diploma amid ongoing public service hiring needs.
Wide range of open roles
CRA is filling temporary SP-04 positions such as Administrative Assistant, Administrative Support Officer, Appeals Officer, and Taxpayer Relief Screener/Officer, paying $65,389 to $73,595 annually.
Higher SP-05 roles include Budget Analysis Officer, CPP/EI Appeals Officer, Appeals Technical Advisor, and Senior Taxpayer Relief Officer, with salaries from $70,773 to $79,657, according to Narcity's review of CRA postings.
Opportunities span the National Capital Region, Quebec, Ontario, Atlantic Canada, and western provinces, supporting taxpayer services in planning, budgeting, finance, and dispute resolution.
Essential qualifications
Applicants need a secondary school diploma or equivalency, plus experience in areas like document creation, client service, or multitasking for SP-04, Narcity detailed.
SP-05 demands prior CRA exposure, policy enforcement, partner collaboration, and workload handling; some require post-secondary accounting or CPA-level knowledge.
All candidates must possess a valid driver's licence for mobility and commit to travel, overtime, and mandatory training.
Application process
The applicants are required to submit tailored resumes to CRA's inventory-based portal by March 20, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET, emphasising matching experience, as Narcity advised.
CRA promotes diversity and inclusion for these roles, which may transition to permanent amid selective hiring freezes.
