Work in Canada
We strive to embody our core values of humanity, inclusion and results and are proud to offer a caring and collaborative work environment.
Through an engaged, supportive network of tens of thousands – employees, association members, donors, activists and influencers— Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Canada is a vital and active part of MSF’s global movement, keeping the people we assist at the heart of everything we do. We hope to inspire motivated professionals to join us and foster a culture that promotes close, productive and long-lasting work relationships.
Employees in Canada are a vital link between our network of supporters, humanitarians, and medical professionals here and MSF’s work to bring critical medical assistance to people around the world.
Why MSF?
-
We aim for equity.
MSF is striving to remove barriers in all our work environments. We welcome applications from individuals with unique experiences of intersectional oppression on the basis of social markers such as ethno-racial identity, age, sexuality, gender identity, education, socio-economic status or place of origin.fringilla.

-
Everyone has a voice
We are communicative and reflective. A range of formal and informal feedback channels invite employees to tell us what is important to them. We continually take that information to make changes and co-create an organization where people can be themselves and do their best work.
-
Health is important
As a medically focused organization, we are particularly thoughtful about supporting health and well-being. We do this through flexible work schedules, coaching and extended health benefits. We offer comfortable physical work spaces with natural light, sit-stand desks, onsite bike storage, showers and wellness rooms.
-
Applying for a position at one of the MSF offices in Canada involves several selection stages, including a preliminary interview, a written assessment and a panel interview by video. This process may take four to eight weeks. Stages specific to each position are communicated to shortlisted applicants.
-
During the recruitment process, when job applicants are individually selected to participate in an assessment or selection process, they are notified that accommodations are available upon request. If a selected applicant requests accommodation, MSF will consult with the applicant and provide or arrange for suitable accommodation, considering the individual’s needs. MSF will notify successful applicants of its policies for accommodating employees with disabilities when making offers of employment.
-
Responses to demographic questions are voluntary and are not associated with individual applications – they have no impact in any way in hiring decisions. The data collected is used in aggregate only to help us identify areas of improvement in our recruitment process.
-
From MSF Canada you’ll receive a comprehensive, people-focused benefits package that supports your wellbeing, financial security, and growth. This includes generous time off, flexible hybrid work, a modern and accessible workspace, strong health and lifestyle coverage, employer-funded retirement savings, family support programs, and annual professional development—all within an inclusive, values-driven culture.
-
MSF adopts a safeguarding culture where personnel and communities are and feel safe and valued throughout their involvement with the organization, where individuals know who to go to with any concerns and are confident that they will be listened to and heard without personal or professional repercussions, and where the organization strives to adopt the highest standards of practice across all areas of safeguarding rather than setting for the minimum standard in order to be legally compliant.
-
We are committed to transparency and fairness in how we review applications.
We do not use artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically screen candidates or make hiring decisions. AI tools may be used in a limited, supportive way to help our recruitment team work more efficiently, such as:
- Summarizing recruiter or hiring manager notes, and
- Running targeted keyword searches related to specific, job‑relevant criteria.
Importantly, every application is reviewed by a qualified human recruiter. We assess each candidate’s experience holistically, including transferable and comparable skills, regardless of any AI‑assisted steps used earlier in the process.
-
All positions posted on our careers site represent current, active openings. Each application is reviewed and considered only for the specific role to which you apply. Job postings are not intended to create or maintain candidate pools for future vacancies.

I started working at MSF as an intern and in the last few years, have been grateful to work with, and learn from, brilliant and supportive colleagues with deep care for the work we do. Having the space to learn, grow (together and individually) and discuss the issues within our work, makes the day-to-day that much more meaningful to me.
