“This funding means more students can find paid work close to home this summer. For students, it is a chance to build skills and earn an income. For community organizations and small businesses, it helps meet real staffing needs during a busy season,” said MP Pauline Rochefort.
The Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Jobs and Families and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario, announced the launch of the hiring period for Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) 2026.
“As young Canadians are working towards their future in difficult times, they will not be left behind. The Canada Summer Jobs program helps young people get meaningful, paid work experience that builds the skills and confidence to succeed in the job market. This year, by expanding the program to support up to 100,000 job opportunities, we are ensuring that even more young Canadians can access meaningful job experiences and build the foundation for long-term success,” said The Honourable Patty Hajdu.
This summer, more work opportunities will be available program-wide compared to last year. Up to 100,000 CSJ openings will be available in Canada for young people between the ages of 15 and 30.
Youth can apply for summer jobs in fields that interest them, such as the recreation sector, the food industry, marketing or tourism. Jobs are also available in high-demand and growing fields, including construction, and in fields related to environmental protection, technology and digital skills. Youth are encouraged to check Job Bank regularly for updates and to share exciting job opportunities with their friends.
Canada Summer Jobs is an essential part of the Government of Canada’s $1.5 billion investment in youth employment programming. As outlined in Budget 2025 and highlighted by the Minister last week, this investment will support about 175,000 opportunities for youth in 2026-27 alone through the Student Work Placement Program, the Youth Employment and Skills Strategy, and CSJ.
