Again, this is all over the place.
Yeah. It seems like it, confirmation is just for interest of department or role but the email specifically says that it is not an offer.

Right. How many days after submitting your fingerprints did you get the call/email?

There should have been 2 emails though. One was for solicitation of interest which explicitly says it was not an offer. The second would be a confirmation of availability for employment which listed out all the details, as well as saying that the appointment to position is pending certain criterias.

With that said, still haven't received anything today..Hopeful for tomorrow.

It seems like there are mostly two groups of people here for PM01, either CPP or EI, with training date start Apr 15.

Group 1. All security checks done, received only Solicitation of Interest with no actual offer. No contact since.

Group 2. All security checks done, received solicitation of interest email and confirmation of avalability of employment email, with a phonecall for request of SIN and DOB details.

I am in group 1.

Hey guys, so I emailed the manager and I got a response today:

Good Morning Mary,

I apologize for the delay in responding to your e-mail. Please be advised that your security clearance has gone through and there is currently nothing required of you at this time. We are still in the process of completing all the steps of the hiring process. Rest assured, if there are any issues that come up, you will be contacted.

Thank you,

Caroline

Good afternoon,

I have contacted the committee regarding the email that they are supposed to send for joining instructions yesterday Mar 29. They said that we should continue to monitor emails in the coming days. I'm assuming that they are still clearing people for the availability for employement emails.

Congrats! Was your references contacted? Still nothing here.

You and me both! I didn't get the email with confirmation of avalability to accept employment, nor a phone call asking for DOB or SIN though. No contact since March 20th when the Solicitation email came.


I interviewed for a different Gov Dept last year and that process took less then 2 weeks start to end, but it was a specialized position. Obviously I didn't get it, but that dept is my end goal eventually.

No, actually. I feel like the whole reference process was completely forgone.

Did anyone else receive an email titled "JOIN OUR DYNAMIC TEAM...." it goes over how this posting will be taken down tomorrow?

I have pretty bad anxiety so im reading this as "no longer being considered for the position" even though ive gone thru the fingerprints, and the solicitation of interest. I hope we (the people who are waiting for an offer) will be emailed regarding the offer soon. i would really really like to leave my current job.

Yes I received this email as well.. I have no idea what it means and I’m very confused by the wordings.

This is very different from other “expiring soon” emails with GC jobs. They usually warn candidates 5 days in advance to renew their application.

What does this mean? Do we need to re-apply? But it says: “if you have not been contacted for assessment in relation to this process.....” but we DID the assessments already.

I’m very confused. I emailed them but haven’t heard back...

I think this is different. I believe everyone who applied for the process received this e-mail..

The reason why we didn't receive an 'about to expire' email is because the position of PSO is now filled...or they have either hired all their candidates or they have reached their quota for 'qualified candidates pool' who can remain in their 'inventory' for x amount of time.

This e-mail is different from others because the close date on the other positons have not been reached yet.

I don't think those of us who have succeeded the interviews for PSO have to worry about today's e-mail.
