[0] 7 [Documentation Required] Set area of selection [Decision Point] Choose Process [Source of Requirement] 
Official Languages in the Appointment Process Policy Deputy heads must respect the Official Languages Act, which requires federal institutions to ensure that employment opportunities are open to both English-speaking and French-speaking Canadians, taking due account of the institution's obligations under Part IV, Communications With and Services to the Public, and Part V, Language of Work, of the said Act. Area of Selection Policy An area of selection provides reasonable access to internal and external appointments and a reasonable area of recourse for internal non-advertised appointments. A national area of selection is established for all advertised external appointment processes. This requirement does not apply to the exceptions outlined in the policy. Ensure that an area of selection: respects the core and guiding values while providing flexibility, efficiency and cost-effectiveness; provides for a reasonable pool of potential candidates; when established for an external appointment process, enhances access to persons who reflect a myriad of backgrounds, skills and professions needed to serve Canadians in their official language of choice; and when established for an internal non-advertised appointment process, provides meaningful access to recourse. Where an area of selection is limited to one or more designated groups, it is supported by the organization's employment equity or human resources plan.
