Canada Summer Jobs is a Government of Canada initiative that provides funding to help employers create summer job opportunities for students. It is designed to focus on local priorities, while achieving tangible results for both students and their communities.
Canada Summer Jobs is focused on encouraging not-for-profit organizations, public sector employers and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees to create jobs that not only meet their needs, but also benefit students looking to gain work experience.
The application period for Canada Summer Jobs 2010 is from February 1 to February 26, 2010.
Before completing an application, employers must consult the Canada Summer Jobs Applicant Guide and review the local priorities for their constituency. They are available on the Web site, by calling 1-800-935-5555, or by visiting a Service Canada Centre. The Applicant Guide contains the following information for employers:
Employers can apply online, print an application form from the Web site to complete by hand, or get an application form by visiting any Service Canada Centre.
The online application process makes applying quick and easy. An electronic confirmation number of successful receipt will be generated once the online application is submitted. Employers must keep this number for future reference.
Employers can download a printable form. Completed applications may be submitted in person, by mail, or by fax, at any Service Canada Centre.
The deadline for applications is February 26, 2010.
An employer submitting a paper application in person, by mail or by fax will receive a letter of acknowledgement.
Applications received or postmarked after the closing date of February 26, 2010, will not be assessed.
Through various programs and services, our summer employment officers will help employers get great visibility for their job postings. This pamphlet outlines the services that the Service Canada Centres for Youth (SCCYs) offer to employers.
