Not-for-profit organizations, public sector employers, and private sector employers with 50 or fewer full-time employees can apply for funding now until January 12, 2023, to hire young Canadians next summer. Full-time job placements will become available starting in April 2023. 

Each year, national priorities are established to prioritize job opportunities for youth facing barriers to getting a first job as well as jobs in small business and the not-for-profit sector. This year, the priorities are: 

• small business and not-for-profit organizations in environmental sectors
• youth with disabilities;
• Black and other racialized youth;
• Indigenous youth;
• small businesses and not-for-profit organizations that self-report as having leadership from groups that are under-represented in the labour market.

Employers interested in applying for Canada Summer Jobs 2023 funding can submit their applications electronically via either the online fillable application or the Grants and Contributions Online Service. The online fillable application is the fastest way for employers to submit an application online, while the Grants and Contributions Online Service requires the user to create an account before submitting an application for CSJ.
