The staff of the Canadian Mission to the EU consists of three categories: Canadian diplomats, locally-engaged staff and interns.
Canadian diplomats are recruited by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade in Ottawa and through several other government departments. They are rotational employees who have diplomatic status when posted abroad.
Locally-engaged staff are recruited by the Mission. All vacant positions are staffed by competitive process. When employment opportunities occur they are posted below.
Interns at the Mission have to be Canadian citizens who have recently graduated from university, with at least a Bachelor's degree.
The Mission Internship Program is intended to offer Canadian citizens an opportunity to improve their understanding of Canada-EU relations and European integration processes. The program aims to provide a first-hand experience of the conduct of Canadian diplomacy in Europe and the issues at stake in the Canada-EU relationship. Participants will also gain practical insight into the day-to-day work of the Mission, while contributing to the Mission’s objectives.
There are currently no vacancies.
