* This position is contingent upon the receipt of funding. *
Pending funding approval, two of these positions are funded in part through the Canada Summer Jobs program and all applicants must meet the current CSJ eligibility criteria. The other two positions are funded in part through the Young Canada Works heritage organizations program and all applicants must meet the current YCW eligibility criteria.
An individual may be eligible for CSJ if they:
- are between 15 and 30 years of age at the beginning of the employment period*;
- are a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or person to whom refugee protection has been conferred under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act for the duration of the employment**; and,

*The youth must be 15 years of age at the beginning of the employment period. The youth may be more than 30 years of age at the end of the employment period as long as the youth was 30 at the beginning of the employment period.
**International students are not eligible participants. International students include anyone who is temporarily in Canada for studies and who is not a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or person who has been granted refugee status in Canada. Youth awaiting a refugee status ruling, as well as those who hold a temporary visitor visa, youth visa or work visa are ineligible. As the objective of the CSJ program is to support youth entering the Canadian labour market, the temporary nature of an international student’s time in Canada does not allow for a long-term connection to the labour market.
