Introduction
This is the step in the process where applicants engage a municipal fire department in application for a vacancy.
Application
A successful applicant can now submit their applications and cover letters/resumes to participating municipalities along with the mandatory submission of your OFAI CTS Certificates. Municipalities will review applications and decide who they wish to invite for an interview based upon their hiring processes and requirements. As part of this process, the municipal fire service can extend a conditional offer of employment to candidates, followed by subsequent reference checks, security clearance checks and driver’s abstracts etc.
It is important to note that each municipality in Ontario sets their own hiring criteria.
