Before you start
This section provides important details on the information and supporting documentation that is required to assess your application. Unless otherwise indicated, you must complete all parts of the application.
You must carefully read this applicant guide and the Articles of Agreement before completing the application form. You should also read about the assessment process detailed in this guide in order to better understand how your application will be assessed.
The order of the questions may vary slightly between the paper and online applications; however, the same information is required.
To complete your application form, you will need the following information:
- Legal name of your organization
- Common name of your organization (if different from the legal name)
- CRA business number (payroll deductions program account of your organization – RP number)
- Email address and telephone number of the primary contact and secondary contact
- Mailing address of your organization
- Number of full-time employees working in Canada
- Date that your organization was created
Constituency
The location of the proposed activities, not your organization’s address or location, determines the constituency for which the application will be assessed. Complete only one application form if all the jobs requested are within the same constituency. If you submit multiple applications within the same constituency, Service Canada will merge your applications into a single application.
You must submit a separate application form for each constituency if you are applying for multiple jobs based in more than one constituency. To determine the constituency in which the activities will take place, search the postal code of the location of the proposed activities on Elections Canada.
Information to be posted publicly
Service Canada will post the contact information, including the email address and the contact for the organization, of employers approved for funding on the Government of Canada’s Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) website.
Service Canada will also post all positions funded by CSJ online at Job Bank.
The application form and this applicant guide identify which information will be posted publicly. Please pay close attention and keep this in mind when completing your application. If you have any questions about the information to be posted publicly, contact Service Canada.

The majority of the work should be performed within the constituency where they have been approved. A job could have multiple sites; however, if the work will be performed remotely (i.e, telework) away from a designated workplace under physical supervision, or from somewhere else outside of a traditional workplace (for example, at an employee’s home), employers are responsible for ensuring that the location respects provincial laws and municipal by-laws, and to continue to provide adequate supervision, mentoring, and safety provisions as per the CSJ Applicant Guide. As per subsection 16.1, Ineligible Projects and Job Activities, of the CSJ Articles of Agreement, regardless of the work arrangements used, employers must ensure that youth are working from locations within Canada.
As per section 16.1, Ineligible Projects and Job Activities, of the CSJ Articles of Agreement, regardless of the work arrangements used, employers must ensure that youth are working from locations within Canada.

If the proposed activities will take place in multiple locations within the same constituency, submit one application listing all of the locations for that constituency. Enter all the other addresses where the youth will be working. These addresses must be civic addresses; they cannot be post office boxes (PO Box). Please verify that the correct postal codes have been entered.
Submit a separate application for each constituency if the locations of the proposed activities are in multiple constituencies. To determine the constituency in which the activities will take place, search the postal code of the location of the proposed activities on the Elections Canada website.
16. Are the proposed activities directed at members of an Official Language Minority Community?
An Official Language Minority Community is one in which the official language spoken is not the majority official language in the province or territory. For all provinces and territories except Quebec, the majority official language is English.
For the proposed activities to be directed at members of an Official Language Minority Community, the tasks and responsibilities of the job must require that the youth participant use the minority language:
- in day-to-day internal operations
- for external operations or for responding to external demands (customer service)

18. Does your organization owe any amount to the Government of Canada?
Refer to paragraph 13.1(f) of the CSJ Articles of Agreement before checking the applicable box.
If you answered “yes,” you must indicate the amount owing, the nature of the debt and the department or the agency to which the amount is owed. Service Canada will then verify with departmental records whether your organization has any amounts owing.
Owing money to the Government of Canada does not render your organization ineligible to receive funding.
19. Is a payment plan in place?
If your organization does owe any amount to the Government of Canada, indicate if an arrangement was made for repayment (for each amount owing). Please ensure to have full details of your payment plan available as Service Canada may request this payment plan at a later date.

Note:
The Attestation is required for the application (submitted on a paper form or online) to be considered complete. If you are submitting your application online, you must check this box in order to proceed, otherwise the system will not allow you to continue. If you are submitting a paper application you must check this box in order for your application to be assessed.

25. to 26. Name of the organization’s representative(s)
An organization’s CSJ application, if approved by Service Canada, forms part of the agreement between the Government of Canada and the organization. The organization will then be subject to the CSJ Articles of Agreement. The organization complies under this agreement to provide the job at the hourly wage, for the number of hours per week and the number of weeks described in the Calculation of Approved Canada Summer Jobs Contribution Amount document. This document will be included in the approval package.
The submission of an application does not constitute an agreement. An official agreement between the organization and the Government of Canada exists only once an application is approved and an agreement is signed by Service Canada. It is important that you read the applicant guide and Articles of Agreement in their entirety before you sign the application.
Therefore, it is important that only authorized persons’ names are identified on the submitted application. Read Section 37 of the Articles of Agreement prior to signature: “The Employer warrants that its representative(s) identified in this Application/Agreement has (have) the authority to enter into an agreement on its behalf and agrees to provide Canada with such evidence of that authorization as Canada may reasonably require.”
