Applications for the 2026 Probationary Firefighter list closed on 17 September 2026 at 11:59 PM through the Chatham-Kent online portal. The 25 October 2026 date in some listings is NOT an application deadline: it is the last day for candidates the department has already invited to finish their FSO testing and hand in their package. Do not book FSO testing unless CK Fire & Rescue has contacted you. The list runs for two years, so prepare now for the next posting.

Probationary Firefighter, competition 26-206, posted 14 September 2026 and closing 2 October 2026 according to two independent firefighter job boards. We could not open the Town of Newmarket posting itself, so confirm the deadline on newmarket.ca before relying on it. Applications go through the Town of Newmarket online system, and CYFS asks you to download its recruitment package from cyfs.ca first. Based on the last cycle (2024), all three OFAI certificates must already be valid when you apply.

The 2026 Full-time Probationary Firefighter competition closed on 9 September 2026. Use the gap to prepare for the next one: advertised requirements were Grade 12 or approved equivalent, Standard First Aid with CPR Level C, and a valid Ontario Class DZ licence with ZERO demerit points at the time of application, kept clean throughout the process. Wage range about $35.81 to $60.04 per hour. You applied online with a resume and a mandatory questionnaire, and an incomplete questionnaire or a missing resume was an automatic disqualification. Candidates who passed practical agility testing then underwent a psychological assessment whose results are not shared with candidates. Hamilton also runs a separate volunteer stream, currently advertising for 2027, with a 260-hour training programme.

Paid-On-Call Firefighters (posting 26-073), applications close 11:59 PM on Friday 9 October 2026. This is NOT a career job: paid-on-call firefighters keep their regular jobs and are paid only for training and calls, starting at $18.75 an hour as recruits. No firefighting certificates are needed to apply - the City trains you - but you must be 19 or older and live inside the Campbell River Fire Protection Area. It is a common first step towards a career posting.

This is WEP 05, a twelve-month work experience placement rather than a permanent job, and it is worth understanding before you apply. Trainees live in the fire station, become honorarium-paid members receiving the same stipends as volunteers, and commit for twelve months unless a career department hires them first. The programme takes about four people per intake and starts with orientation in early October 2026. Requirements: Canadian citizenship or landed immigrant status, age 18 to 60, NFPA 1001 Firefighter I and II already held, a doctor''s medical clearance or fitness certificate accepted as Fit Tech, CPAT or York Test, normal hearing without aids, and a criminal record check including the vulnerable sector screening. DATE CONFLICT: the aggregator listing shows applications closing 14 September 2026 while the programme description says interviews were completed 28 August 2026. Contact Fire Chief Piche at the city directly before relying on either date.

Firefighter/Paramedic, up to 2 permanent full-time positions, apply by email to hr@kitimat.ca by Friday 16 October 2026, 4:30 PM. Kitimat Fire and Ambulance is the only department in BC that runs both fire and ambulance, so a Primary Care Paramedic licence is the real key here - PCPs who can obtain NFPA 1001 I and II are explicitly invited. Wages have parity with the City of Vancouver, and career firefighters get their experience wage-matched up to three years. Selection happens in a single recruitment weekend: interview, fitness tests and aptitude tests in paramedicine and mechanical knowledge, with accommodation covered and $500 towards travel.
