Note
Relaxation rules used here: 5 years general relaxation for federal and provincial posts, 10 years for government servants with qualifying service, and up to 10 years for persons with disabilities and certain other categories. Exact relaxations vary by department and advertisement, and some posts grant none. Always read the age limit section of the specific advertisement before applying.
Tips
- Always read the age-limit section of the specific advertisement — relaxations differ by department and post.
- Government servants usually get extra relaxation, but only with the required years of qualifying service.
- Age is counted on the closing date of applications, not the date you read the ad.
- When in doubt, apply and let the department decide — a rejected application costs little, a missed one costs the chance.
