Notes:

In the PSC context, the "Public Service" refers to organizations under the Public Service Employment Act (PSEA) universe which is approximately equivalent to the Core Public Administration.

The 2006 workforce availability for the Public Service was provided by the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer, Treasury Board Secretariat. Workforce availability estimates are based on the 2006 Census and are for the Core Public Administration only.

All appointment figures exclude specified term appointments of less than three months and appointments to separate agencies.

The figures for women appointed to the Public Service are extracted from the PSC hiring and staffing activities files.

For appointments to the Public Service for fiscal years 2009-2010 to 2011-2012, the percentages for Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of a visible minority group are based on applicants who applied and self-declared through the PSRS in the preceding two years, and where a match was found in the PSC’s hiring and staffing activities files covering the current fiscal year. Please note this data is only based on appointments via an advertised process.

For appointments to the Public Service for fiscal year 2012-2013, the percentages for Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of a visible minority group are based on the TBS EEDB and where a match was found in the PSC hiring and staffing activities files covering the current fiscal year. This data captures all appointment processes - both advertised and non-advertised.

Due to changes in methodology, figures for fiscal year 2012-2013 are not comparable to previous fiscal years.
