The Public Service Commission of Canada
The Public Service Commission (PSC) is dedicated to building a public service that strives for excellence. We protect merit, non-partisanship, representativeness and the use of both official languages. We safeguard the integrity of staffing in the public service and the political impartiality of public servants. We develop policies and guidance for public service managers and hold them accountable for their staffing decisions. We conduct audits and investigations to confirm the effectiveness of the staffing system and to make improvements. As an independent agency, we report our results to Parliament. We recruit talented Canadians to the public service, drawn from across the country. We continually renew our recruitment services to meet the needs of a modern and innovative public service.
We are a federal institution that is part of the Public Services and Procurement Canada portfolio.
We are in the process of moving our services and information to Canada.ca.
Our current Public Service Commission website will remain available until the move to Canada.ca is complete.
