Everything you ever wanted to know about applying to the Public Service Commission

If you have wanted to apply to the Public Service Commission of Canada (and work for the Feds), the Canada Public Service Agency has a page that details the entire process from initial application to selection.

In addition, you should also take a look at:

• Canadians applying to the Public Service Commission
• Graduate Recruitment (time to get your application into the general pool; exams start in late-September)
• Jobs Open to the Public (yes, they hire librarians)
• The infamous PSC tests
  

No, bilingualism is not always a requirement (check the posting) but something to strive for with the programs the Feds have in place to achieve a bilingual work force.

There are lots of wonderful cities to work in in Canada (OHMIGOD Ottawa...except in January, even I'm not that tough), and with the Feds, you might be able to work in several while contributing to work of the government, as well as assisting all Canadians.
