The Employment Equity Act prescribes that this report cover the portions of the public service of Canada set out in Schedules I and IV of the Financial Administration Act. Seventy-three departments, agencies and commissions comprise the core public administration (CPA), for which the Treasury Board is the employer (see Table 1). The statistics in this report include only employees working for these organizations, which numbered 181,356 on March 31, 2014. This report includes information on indeterminate employees, term employees of three months or more, and seasonal employees, with the exception of those seasonal employees who are on leave without pay at the end of March for each fiscal year. No information is reported on students, casual workers or employees on leave without pay, such as those on care and nurturing leave and educational leave. Statistics in this document also exclude Governor in Council appointees, ministerial staff, federal judges and deputy ministers, who are also on the public service payroll. As required under the Employment Equity Act, annual reports to Parliament present information for the fiscal year beginning April 1 and ending March 31. The statistics of separate employers, covered under Schedule V of the Financial Administration Act, are not included in this report. Under the Employment Equity Act, separate employers that have more than 100 employees (e.g., the Canada Revenue Agency and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency) are required to provide their reports to the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer (OCHRO) of the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat only for the purposes of tabling in Parliament at the same time as this report. To view their employment equity reports, readers should visit those organizations’ websites, or contact them directly. Reports on employment equity in the Canadian Forces and with respect to members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are prepared by those organizations and are also tabled in Parliament at the same time as those of separate employers. To assure the consistency of data presented in this report, OCHRO uses the incumbent file, which contains information on all employees for whom the Treasury Board is the employer, in accordance with Schedules I and IV of the Financial Administration Act. Since 2011–12, the executive category includes data on the LC Group (Law Management Occupational Group) in its total workforce, which will need to be taken into consideration when comparing data historically. All tabulations, other than those for women, contain data obtained through self-identification. This data is provided voluntarily by employees and maintained separately and confidentially in the Employment Equity Data Bank by OCHRO, and where applicable, through the self-declaration of individuals applying to the public service through the Public Service Commission of Canada’s (PSC’s) Public Service Resourcing System. A reconciliation process is carried out each year by OCHRO, the PSC and the departments of the CPA to ensure that information derived from the Public Service Resourcing System, the Employment Equity Data Bank, and incumbent file harmonizes with the information from departmental sources. The completeness and accuracy of employment equity data for the CPA depend on the willingness of employees to self-identify and on departments providing opportunities for them to do so. Employees, including those engaged as students or casual workers, are given an opportunity to provide this information when they are hired and during departmental self-identification surveys or other campaigns. Furthermore, they may complete a self-identification form, available from their departmental employment equity coordinator, at any time.

The wages on the Job Bank website are specific to an occupation and provide information on the earnings of workers at the regional level. Wages for most occupations are also provided at the national and provincial level. In Canada, all jobs are associated with one specific occupational grouping which is determined by the National Occupational Classification. For most occupations, a minimum, median and maximum wage estimates are displayed. They are update annually.

Overview: Each quarter, the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) publishes Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) statistics on Open Government Data Portal, including quarterly and annual LMIA data related to, but not limited to, requested and approved TFW positions, employment location, employment occupations, sectors, TFWP stream and temporary foreign workers by country of origin. The TFWP does not collect data on the number of TFWs who are hired by an employer and have arrived in Canada. The decision to issue a work permit rests with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and not all positions on a positive LMIA result in a work permit. For these reasons, data provided in the LMIA statistics cannot be used to calculate the number of TFWs that have entered or will enter Canada. IRCC publishes annual statistics on the number of foreign workers who are issued a work permit: https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/360024f2-17e9-4558-bfc1-3616485d65b9. Please note that all quarterly tables have been updated to NOC 2021 (5 digit and training, education, experience and responsibilities (TEER) based). As such, Table 5, 8, 17, and 24 will no longer be updated but will remain as archived tables. Frequency of Publication: Quarterly LMIA statistics cover data for the four quarters of the previous calendar year and the quarter(s) of the current calendar year. Quarterly data is released within two to three months of the most recent quarter. The release dates for quarterly data are as follows: Q1 (January to March) will be published by early June of the current year; Q2 (April to June) will be published by early September of the current year; Q3 (July to September) will be published by early December of the current year; and Q4 (October to December) will be published by early March of the next year. Annual statistics cover eight consecutive years of LMIA data and are scheduled to be released in March of the next year. Published Data: As part of the quarterly release, the TFWP updates LMIA data for 28 tables broken down by: TFW positions: Tables 1 to 10, 12, 13, and 22 to 24; LMIA applications: Tables 14 to 18; Employers: Tables 11, and 19 to 21; and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP): Tables 25 to 28. In addition, the TFWP publishes 2 lists of employers who were issued a positive or negative LMIA: Employers who were issued a positive LMIA by Program Stream, NOC, and Business Location (https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/90fed587-1364-4f33-a9ee-208181dc0b97/resource/b369ae20-0c7e-4d10-93ca-07c86c91e6fe); and Employers who were issued a negative LMIA by Program Stream, NOC, and Business Location (https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/f82f66f2-a22b-4511-bccf-e1d74db39ae5/resource/94a0dbee-e9d9-4492-ab52-07f0f0fb255b). Things to Remember: 1. When data are presented on positive or negative LMIAs, the decision date is used to allocate which quarter the data falls into. However, when data are presented on when LMIAs are requested, it is based on the date when the LMIA is received by ESDC. 2. As of the publication of 2022Q1- 2023Q4 data (published in April 2024) and going forward, all LMIAs in support of 'Permanent Residence (PR) Only' are included in TFWP statistics, unless indicated otherwise. All quarterly data in this report includes PR Only LMIAs. Dual-intent LMIAs and corresponding positions are included under their respective TFWP stream (e.g., low-wage, high-wage, etc.) This may impact program reporting over time. 3. Attention should be given for data that are presented by ‘Unique Employers’ when it comes to manipulating the data within that specific table. One employer could be counted towards multiple groups if they have multiple positive LMIAs across categories such as program stream, province or territory, or economic region. For example, an employer could request TFWs for two different business locations, and this employer would be counted in the statistics of both economic regions. As such, the sum of the rows within these ‘Unique Employer’ tables will not add up to the aggregate total.

This data presents population counts by department and age group for all Parliamentary appropriated organizations from March 31, 2009 to March 31, 2019. In this dataset the Population counts for the following organizations are merged: Statistics Canada includes employees of Statistical Survey Operations, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada includes employees of Competition Bureau Canada, and Global Affairs Canada includes employees of Passport Canada (before March 2014).

Under the Public Service Compensation Disclosure Policy, compensation, including salary, benefit, and severance amounts for government employees with base salaries or severance payments of equal to or greater than the identified annual threshold, are available in the linked dataset.

The Public Service Employee Survey (PSES) is led by the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer (Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat), in collaboration with Statistics Canada. The survey, which has been conducted every three years since 1999, measures federal public servants’ opinions in relation to employee engagement, leadership, the workforce and the workplace. The 2014 PSES was conducted between August 25 and October 3, 2014. A total of 182,165 employees in 93 federal departments and agencies responded to the survey, for a response rate of 71.4%. 2014 Data files contain the PSES results by year (2014, 2011 and 2008) for the Public Service and departments/agencies, and results broken down by demographic characteristics (e.g., age, occupational group) and departments/agencies' organizational structure. Results for 2011 and 2008 are only provided for questions repeated in the 2014 PSES. Notice of correction: Datasets have been revised and updated on March 5, 2015. Results pertaining to duty to accommodate (questions 81, 82 and 83) and results broken down by question 86 (shift worker), which were not available at the time of publication, have been added to the datasets. Results broken down by question 90 (occupational groups), question 91 (occupational levels) and variable K_D90G (occupational category derived from question 90) have been revised and updated. Datasets have also been revised and updated on May 20, 2015. Results for the LA and LP occupational groups and certain organizational units within certain departments and agencies have been revised and updated; this does not affect the results at the public service or department/agency levels.

Government Electronic Directory Services (GEDS) provides public access to Government of Canada employee contact information as provided by participating departments. Encoded with the Latin Alphabet 1 (ISO 8859-1) character set. This is the dataset that contains all of the raw data within the Government of Canada Employee Contact Information system, not the searchable lookup. To search for contact information, please go to Government Electronic Directory Services (GEDS). (​​http://geds.gc.ca)

A position is considered "vacant" if it meets all three of the following conditions: a specific position exists; work could start within 30 days; and the employer is actively seeking employees from outside the organization to fill the position. Data is based on a three month moving average.

The Canada Emergency Response Benefit Act passed on March 25, 2020 to provide income support for Canadian workers whose employment income has been disrupted by COVID-19. Through the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) the Government of Canada is providing a taxable benefit of $2,000 every 4 weeks for up to 16 weeks to eligible workers who have lost income or stopped working due to COVID-19. Applications for CERB are being made via Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and Service Canada (SC). Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) has compiled data on various metrics related to applications submitted and distributed through both Departments.
