Canada Summer Jobs is an initiative of the Government of Canada’s Youth Employment Strategy. The objective of the program is to help young people between the ages of 15 and 30 – particularly those facing barriers to employment – gain skills, work experience, and abilities necessary to transition successfully into the labour market.

Eligibility Details

Please note that last year’s COVID flexibilities have ended. Canada Summer Jobs funds full-time employment opportunities lasting a minimum of 6 weeks, at a minimum of 30 hours per week. Eligible positions must begin between April 25, 2022 and July 24 2022. All young people between the ages of 15 and 30 are eligible for employment under this initiative, regardless of their educational or employment status.

As a not-for-profit employer, TRCA is eligible for wage subsidies up to 100% of the Ontario minimum wage ($14.35).
