Canada's intelligence agency is hiring in Ontario and the jobs pay really well

If you've always wanted to work at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), now's your chance — the agency has several job openings.

CSIS is Canada's leading national security system that investigates national security threats, and available positions range from information management to investigating cyber-espionage, cyber-foreign-influenced activities, and cyber-terrorism.

Most of these roles are located in Ottawa, Ontario, so if you already live nearby or wouldn't mind relocating, then start working on your resume.

However, once you've applied, the agency wants to remind potential candidates of the importance of being "discreet."

"Do not discuss your application with others (including on social media) besides your partner or close family members — who should also be reminded about the need to be discreet," reads the website.
