Voluntary self-declaration

At the NFB, we're passionate about sharing Canada's diverse stories through documentaries and animations. Our commitment is to reflect the richness and variety of Canada in everything we create and among our team members.

We believe that the strength and diversity of our team directly shape the unique and inclusive content we produce. When we post job opportunities, we actively seek qualified applicants from the four designated groups under the Employment Equity Act (EEA) as well as two additional designated groups:

  • Women
  • Indigenous Peoples
  • Racialized persons
  • People with disabilities
  • 2SLGBTQI+
  • Black

The following voluntary self-declaration questions are designed to allow you to indicate if you belong to one or more of these groups.

The NFB is committed to making merit-based selections, and belonging to one or more of the groups mentioned above is considered an asset in the preselection or selection process. The information you provide will only be used for statistical reporting purposes and will not be used to exclude you from the selection process.

Our intentional inclusivity is rooted in valuing, respecting, and celebrating our differences. We are dedicated to fostering an environment where everyone feels welcome and heard. For a deeper understanding of our efforts regarding equity, diversity and inclusion, check out our Commitments to EDI, and to learn more about our ongoing commitments in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, we invite you to explore our Indigenous Action Plan.

If you have any questions related to employment equity at the NFB, please reach out to us at cv@nfb.ca.

Self-declaration questions

Complete the appropriate fields.

Note the following points:

  • You may self-declare as belonging to more than one group.
  • You may identify as an Indigenous person and a member of a racialized/visible minority group only if you are of mixed ancestry such as having a parent who is Indigenous and a parent who belongs to a racialized/visible minority group.
1. Do you identify as a woman?*

Women are members of a designated group under the Employment Equity Act.

2. Do you identify as an Indigenous person?*

For the purposes of this questionnaire, the term “Indigenous” means a person who is First Nations, Inuit or Métis.

Optional: If you wish to provide further details, please select the boxes that apply to you.
3. Are you a member of a visible minority group?*

A person in a visible minority group in Canada is someone (other than an Indigenous person as defined above) who is non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour, regardless of place of birth.

Note: For the purposes of this form, the term “visible minorities” is used when discussing the designated equity group, in accordance with the language specified in the Employment Equity Act. This choice of terminology is intended to maintain consistency with the terminology in the Act. We remain dedicated to promoting equity, diversity and inclusion for all individuals, regardless of the specific terminology employed within this form.

Optional: If you wish to provide further details, please select the boxes that apply to you.
4. Are you a person with a disability?*

A person with a disability is a person with any impairment, including a physical, mental, intellectual, cognitive, learning, communication, or sensory impairment — or a functional limitation — whether permanent, temporary, or episodic in nature, or evident or not, that, in interaction with a barrier, hinders a person’s full and equal participation in society.*

For the purposes of this questionnaire, please only identify disabilities that have lasted or are expected to last six months or more.†

Optional: If you wish to provide further details, please select the boxes that apply to you.

*This definition of disability aligns with the Accessible Canada Act.

†The instruction to report only disabilities that are expected to last six months or more aligns with the instruction in the 2021 Census question about activities of daily living. This alignment enables more accurate reporting of the representation of persons with disabilities in our workforce.

‡The types of disabilities listed align with the definition of disability in the Accessible Canada Act and with the results reported for the 2021 Census question about activities of daily living.

5. Do you identify as 2SLGBTQIA+?*

Responses to this question will not be used to fulfill reporting requirements of the Employment Equity Act (EEA), as 2SLGBTQIA+ (Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual) are not EEA designated groups. The Government of Canada is committed to equitable participation of these groups in the workforce and is requesting this data to better understand the extent to which these groups are included in the workforce.

Optional: If you wish to provide further details, please select the boxes that apply to you.
