Today, the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Jobs and Families, announced that the employer application period for Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) 2027 is open until December 3, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. PT. The Government of Canada is working with employers, particularly in high-demand sectors, to create meaningful employment opportunities for young people.
Canada Summer Jobs provides funding to eligible not-for-profit organizations, public sector employers, and private sector employers with 50 or fewer full-time employees. In 2027, priority will be given to jobs related to construction, environmental and climate-related activities, developing digital skills or gaining exposure to artificial intelligence, and not-for-profit organizations that support underserved and equity-deserving communities.
Together, we are empowering Canadian youth with meaningful work experience, supporting local employers, and building a stronger, more prosperous Canada.
