Which Canadian fire departments are hiring

Verified recruitment for 181 departments across Canada. Start with the ones taking applications right now, or find your city below and see exactly what it requires and how its hiring runs.

We monitor these official sources for changes every day and re-verify a guide whenever its source moves. The date on each guide is the last time we confirmed it against the source, not the last time we glanced at it.

Taking applications right now

Central Saanich British Columbia, closes September 10
Prince Albert Saskatchewan, closes September 18
Windsor Ontario, closes September 21
Vancouver British Columbia, open until filled
Yellowknife Northwest Territories, open until filled

Each of these was read on the department's own page on the date shown in its guide. Intakes close early and open without notice, so confirm on their page before you plan around it. A department missing from this list is not necessarily closed; some publish nothing until a posting goes up.
