Applying to the CRD
Our hiring process follows four steps. Here's what to expect from us when you apply.
1: Create your profile
To apply for a job opportunity, you must first set up a profile on the CRD Jobs website. After that, you can upload your resume and apply for jobs. For more information, refer to our tip sheet:
Note: current employees already have a profile and can access internal opportunities using their CRD login. Click the "view internal jobs" menu link to get started.
2: Apply online
Browse current opportunities to see what we have to offer. When you find a role that interests you, click the "Apply now" button. You will be prompted to log into your profile and follow the steps to prepare an application.
After you apply, our system will send you an email letting you know we received your application. If you do not receive this email within 24 hours, please check your junk mail before contacting the Human Resources & Corporate Safety office at 250.360.3069.
3: Assessment
If you are selected to move forward in the hiring process, we will assess your knowledge, skills, abilities, and competencies for the job. These assessments may vary depending on the job requirements. For example, you may be asked to participate in written assignments, presentations, and interviews. You may also be asked to submit documents. Before an offer is made, we may also request reference checks.
4: Offer
If you are the successful applicant, the hiring manager will reach out to you to confirm interest and next steps. We look forward to working with you!

our online application process. This allows us to track your application,
communicate consistently via email, and reduce paper. If you require assistance
