How is a national area of selection applied?
A national area of selection has been used since 2001 for external recruitment of executive and equivalent positions, and for positions two levels below the executive level. The requirement to use a national area of selection for officer-level jobs in the National Capital Region open to the public came into effect on April 1, 2006 and on April 2, 2007 for officer-level jobs across Canada open to the public. The Public Service Commission will be taking a measured approach toward phasing in the use of a national area of selection for external advertised appointment processes in other regions and for other jobs.
