Who pays, then?
Employers and third party consultants pay a small flat fee to post — $14.99 + GST per posting per month for employers, $9.99 + GST for third party consultants. That keeps the job bank free for every job seeker, with no pay-to-apply and no featured-candidate upsells.
FAQ
Need to know.
What you need to know before you start your job search.
Getting started Does it actually cost anything to job hunt here?
Nothing. Creating a profile, uploading your resume, applying to jobs and getting alerts are all free, and always will be. Employers pay a small monthly fee to post — you never do.
Getting started I'm new to Canada with no Canadian experience — can I still apply?
Yes. Youth Careers Canada is built for young people at every career stage, including those exploring Canadian opportunities for the first time. Filter by career stage — internships, graduate roles, early-career, skilled — to find postings that match where you actually are.
Jobs & applications Changed your mind after applying?
While an application is still marked "Submitted" you can withdraw it yourself from your Applications page.
Resume & alerts Do I need to upload a resume for every job?
Just once. Upload it (PDF, DOC or DOCX, up to 5 MB) and every application uses it automatically — or swap in a different one for a specific role whenever you want.
Resume & alerts How do I hear about matching jobs first?
Your alerts run off your profile: the categories you choose, the provinces you'll work in, your keywords and your skills. A match goes live and you get an in-app notification, plus an email if you want one — instantly or as a daily digest.
Privacy & accessibility Who gets to see my resume?
Only the employer or consultant behind a job you applied to, and only the copy you sent them. It's never publicly listed, never searchable, and only reaches signed-in owners of that posting.
