What is the Job Bank?

The Job Bank is a large government website with job postings and labour market information.

What does the Job Bank include?

The Job Bank has over 100,000 listings in Canada and is updated daily. You can read all the job postings in English and French. Employers often use the job bank to advertise jobs for free.

Apart from browsing jobs, you can also explore trends in the labour market and get information on occupations you're interested in by wages, outlooks, skills needed and more.

Job Bank features

In addition to job listings and labour market information, the Job Bank has some tools that can help you look for a job.

Both are free, but the Plus account offers more features and requires more information to activate. To create a Plus account, you must provide your SIN number or Express Entry profile number and email address. For more information, read their Terms of Use for job seekers.
