Dear All,

This is an interesting topic, where it seems desis get equal share as goras, I believe. Anyways, is there a ceiling on age or the Federal jobs are open to all those who meet the skill set advertised.

regards......

As a federal employee I can tell you that Desi's applying to federal jobs is a waste of time if they aren't fluent in French.

This doesn't mean you can take a couple of courses in French...that doesn't fly anymore.

They want you to be fluent...like in English so that you speak French all the time, can work in French, can live in French.

Even if Job is not in Quebec???

OR say ITs a programmers Job situated in Ontario or any nonfrench speaking Province, then why would we need french?

Garvo,

Beg to differ on this. French is not a must even in Ottawa (which is right across Quebec). It all depends on the position. Look at the IT positions. Most of them are only english required.

Interesting to know this. Thanks!

Dear All,

Atleast this ad for a constable does not have a ceiling on age. Does all such federal jobs carry the same lingo ?

I dont think age limit is an issue, like India. I know a guy who is in late 40s and got a job in the federal govt. So, no need to worry.
