Finding work in Canada: where job seekers look
National boards and the government's Job Bank cover the whole country, while Quebec, the federal public service, nonprofits and tech each have sites of their own.
Where to look for work in Canada depends partly on where you are and what you do. The big boards carry jobs across the country, the federal government runs two sites of its own, and job seekers in Quebec have boards built for that market.
The fifteen sites below fall into five groups: the national boards, the government sites, the Quebec boards, the sites for nonprofit, tech and remote work, and a site built around company reviews. Most are free for job seekers; one remote-work board sells an optional paid upgrade. Live job counts change every day.
The national boards
LinkedIn Jobs is the job board inside the LinkedIn professional network and carries millions of jobs. It recommends jobs from your profile, such as your headline, experience and location preferences, and you can create job alerts for a search.
Indeed Canada is the Canadian site of Indeed, which calls itself the number 1 job site in the world and has more than 685 million job seeker profiles worldwide. Job search, resume posting and information about companies are free. Indeed is run by Recruit Holdings. Workopolis, a Canadian job site run by WP Online Holdings, an Indeed partner, is now part of the Indeed site. There you can search jobs, upload or create a resume to apply, and view local and national salary information.
Talent.com is a job search platform with more than 40 million jobs. You can search its jobs, save the ones you like and apply to them in seconds. ZipRecruiter Canada, an online employment marketplace, lets job seekers search, create job alerts, save jobs, apply and post a resume online, and it never charges them for any of it.
Eluta.ca is a Canadian job search engine run by Mediacorp Canada, and the official job search engine of the Canada's Top 100 Employers project. It showed 186,803 jobs in October 2026. You can search jobs directly or browse them, and search the top employers.
Government sites
Job Bank is the Government of Canada's national job site, run by Employment and Social Development Canada, where Canadians can search for jobs anywhere in the country. About 55,000 jobs are listed on it each month, and email alerts or job matching cut down the time spent searching.
GC Jobs is a different service: the online recruitment platform for jobs in the federal public service, run by the Public Service Commission of Canada and used by 99 federal departments and agencies. It receives about one million applications a year for roughly 10,000 job postings. You sign in or create a GC Jobs account to search and apply for jobs and to take online tests.
Jobs in Quebec
Two boards focus on the Quebec job market. Jobboom is a Quebec job board with more than 2,000 positions from 16 employment sectors in Quebec and outside the province. With a free account you can apply, manage applications and receive job alerts.
Jobillico, a division of the Harris Computer group, is a Canadian job site focused on the Quebec job market, with more than 4.5 million users. It is free: you can apply for as many jobs as you like, keep your resume on the site and read descriptions of the companies that are hiring.
Nonprofit, tech and remote work
CharityVillage is a job site for nonprofit and charitable jobs across Canada, and it is free to search and apply. It showed 1,272 jobs in October 2026. Job seekers can also apply for volunteer roles, subscribe to job alerts and use its free webinars, newsletters and podcasts.
Dice lists tech jobs only, for software engineers, IT staff and other technology roles, with millions of tech jobs a year, and it is free for tech professionals. After you upload a resume, Dice Match uses your skills and experience to connect you to relevant tech jobs.
For remote work, We Work Remotely has 42,284 remote jobs posted, and a free basic account lets you save jobs, follow companies and get a feed tailored to your settings. Remote OK, run by We Work Remotely LP, lets you create a remote worker profile and job alerts. Its paid Premium, at $14.95 a month, adds early access to new jobs, a top spot in candidate lists and filters for salary, time zone and tech stack, and TopAccess, at $29.95 a month, adds partner job boards.
Company reviews and pay
Glassdoor pairs open jobs with employee reviews of companies and salary data. Job matching, company reviews, salary information and its anonymous community are all free; job seekers never pay. Workopolis's local and national salary pages serve a similar purpose for anyone checking what a job pays before applying.
Resumes and job alerts
Most of these sites can hold a resume and send alerts for new jobs. Indeed Canada and ZipRecruiter Canada let you post a resume, Workopolis lets you upload or create one, Jobillico keeps your resume on the site, and Dice uses an uploaded resume to match you to tech jobs. For alerts, LinkedIn Jobs, ZipRecruiter Canada, Jobboom, CharityVillage and Remote OK all let you set them, and Job Bank offers email alerts and job matching. LinkedIn also recommends jobs from your profile, using your headline, experience and location preferences.
Using more than one site
Because nearly all of these sites are free, a job seeker can use several at once. Someone who works in one field can pair a general board such as Indeed Canada or LinkedIn Jobs with that field's own site: GC Jobs for the federal public service, CharityVillage for nonprofits, Dice for tech. In Quebec, Jobboom and Jobillico sit alongside the national boards, and Job Bank covers every province.
The one place to check the price is Remote OK, where the extra filters and early access are paid; the other remote board here, We Work Remotely, has a free account.
