Investigations Analyst And Fraud Prevention Analyst

CRA’s National EE Staffing Strategy strives to eliminate gaps for the four EE designated groups: Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and women. Where an EE gap exists at the time of appointment, EE may be used as an appointment criterion for permanent and temporary appointments over six months made through this process.

The CRA has introduced the requirement for on-site presence including hybrid work models where employees are required to work on-site at a CRA-approved location a minimum of two days per week or 40% of their regular monthly work schedule. A number of individual and group exceptions to on-site presence may be granted based on individual situations and the nature of the work being performed. Work arrangement agreements and specific circumstances may be discussed with the manager at the time of hiring.

The CRA is one of Canada’s top employers! The CRA strives to offer employees a variety of flexible work arrangements to help them achieve work-life balance.
