Adaptive Measures (Accommodations)

We are committed to providing an inclusive and barrier-free work environment, starting with the hiring process. Accommodations are open and available to all candidates at any point in the process. The intent of accommodations is to provide a solution that best fits your needs to help you succeed while ensuring the integrity of the process. They are assessed on a case-by-case basis and in no way does requesting an accommodation impact your status.

Accommodations can be made to help you submit your application and/or better support you to complete your assessments which may include but are not limited to: additional time, presenting all information in a different way, changing the colours, fonts, etc.

Accommodations should be requested as early in the process as possible to avoid delays with your application. Once your email is received, our team will ensure adjustments or alternative measures are in place to better support you. If you require an accommodation or require assistance due to unreliable internet connection, you’re having difficulties with the platform or have any questions, please send us an email at DFO.TalentRecruitment-RecrutementdeTalent.MPO@dfo-mpo.gc.ca. 

All information received in relation to this process including accommodations will be kept confidential.
