Canada Summer Jobs
Purpose
CSJ is a program under the Youth Employment and Skills Strategy, which aims to provide flexible and holistic services to help all young Canadians develop the skills and gain paid work experience to successfully transition into the labour market.
Organization/Student Role: Nonprofit employers, private and public sector employers registered with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The organization must have a CRA payroll deductions program account (RP) prior to hiring students through the CSJ program.
The goal is to provide wage subsidies to employers from not-for-profit organizations, the public sector, and private sector organizations with 50 or fewer full-time employees (except for government institutions), to create quality summer work experiences for domestic students aged 15 to 30 years.

Employer Eligibility
