Bilingual positions and the pool of bilingual employees in the
Public Service
Establishing the linguistic profiles of positions and conducting
the linguistic assessment of federal employees is carried out according to three
levels of proficiency:
- Level A – minimum proficiency;
- Level B – intermediate proficiency; and
- Level C – superior proficiency.
The following three skills are assessed: reading, writing, and
oral interaction (understanding and speaking). The results shown in this table
are based on test results for oral interaction administered as part of the
Second Language
Evaluation (SLE).

Language requirements of positions in the Public Service
All positions in the Public Service of Canada are designated as
bilingual or unilingual, depending on their specific requirements and according
to the following categories:
- bilingual – a position in which all, or part, of the
duties must be performed in both English and French;
- English essential – a position in which all the
duties must be performed in English;
- French essential – a position in which all the duties
must be performed in French; and
- either English or French essential
("either/or") – a position in which all the duties can be
performed in English or French.

Language requirements of positions in the Public Service by
region
The heading Unilingual Positions represents the sum of
the three following categories: English essential, French essential, and either
English or French essential.
Since all rotational positions abroad, which belong primarily to Foreign Affairs Canada and International Trade Canada, are identified as
unilingual, the language requirements have been determined by the incumbents'
linguistic proficiencies rather than by the requirements of the positions.

Bilingual positions in the Public Service
Linguistic status of incumbents
The linguistic status of incumbents includes two categories:
1. Meet signifies that incumbents meet the language
requirements of their positions; and
2. Do not meet, which is divided into two
sub-categories:
- Incumbents who are exempted are not required to meet
the linguistic requirements of their positions. In certain circumstances,
government policy allows an employee to
- apply for a bilingual position staffed on a non-imperative
basis without making a commitment to meet the language requirements of that
position (This normally applies to employees with long records of service,
employees with a disability preventing them from learning a second language
and employees affected by a reorganization or statutory priority);
- remain in a bilingual position without having to meet the
new language requirements of that position (This includes incumbents of
unilingual positions reclassified as bilingual or incumbents of bilingual
positions for which the language requirements have been raised).
- Incumbents who must meet the language requirements of
their positions in accordance with the Public Service Official Languages
Exclusion Approval Order under the Public Service Employment Act.
This Order allows employees a two-year period to acquire the language
proficiency required for their positions.

Bilingual positions in the Public Service
Second-language level requirements
The linguistic profile for a given position is determined
according to three levels of second-language proficiency:
- Level A – minimum proficiency;
- Level B – intermediate proficiency; and
- Level C – superior proficiency.
The other category refers to positions requiring either
the code "P" or not requiring any second-language oral
interaction skills. Code "P" is
used for a specialized proficiency in one or both of the official languages that
cannot be acquired through language training (e.g. stenographers and
translators).
In tables 5, 7, 9, and 11, the levels required in the second
language (C, B, A, and "other") refer to "oral interaction."

supervisory positions. However, because a position may be identified as bilingual in
terms of more than one requirement (e.g. service to the public and supervision),
the total of the positions in tables 7, 9, and 11 does not necessarily
match the number of bilingual positions in Table 5.
