Great job
I was originally hired to work on the 2011 Census. It was a 12 wk contract. I ended up staying on past the end to help the district manager to obtain the completed Census from reluctant or difficult people. It was very rewarding and quite the challenge. I loved it.

Productive and strong team members who are always welcoming
It is always fun working with my colleagues at the Embassy of Canada. I have learnt to be diplomatic, organized and be a team player.
The management was just ok to deal with. My colleagues were and will always remain the best I have worked with. The hardest part of my job as a cost recovery administrator was dealing with applicants refund, however it seems to be a piece of cake once it is done, in short there was nothing as a hardest part in my job.
The most enjoyable part of my job was working at the reception and looking forward for a new experience daily. I would also participate to do more jobs other than my daily duties.

Great place to work with good people
I was military working in fast-paced conditions with teams that varied from 10 - 25 staff depending on the location of posting. Training was provided and access to it was readily available. Loved my time in the active service!

Very Interesting great company
My day start with helping applicants with the passport applications .Filling in applications making sure all the legal document are included to prevent rejections .What you need is patience and understanding at all times .My co-workers are great we all help each other ..I must say the hardest part of the job is when we get an aggressive applicant .The Best part of the job is when applicants have the passport on hand and give you a wonderful smile and thank-you so much for making this possible ,,,,
ConsNot allowed to work more than 12.5 hours a week
