No, we recruit throughout the whole year. We collaborate with certain colleges and universities to hire students under coop programs for three or four months before they return to their studies. Often, they come back to finish their internship with the CRA.
In addition, we hire many students during the summer. Personal tax-filing season is at its peak beginning in March until the end of May or mid-June. This is not a particularly good time for students, because they are still in school. Students are hired throughout the year and throughout the country. Of the students hired last year, 60 were offered indeterminate positions throughout all regions of Canada.
