Good jobs are hard to find, so when you learn of a career that is not only interesting but also well paying, you want to tell everyone you know about it. And, since you lovely readers are my nearest and dearest, I just had to give you the scoop! Before we go into details, you need to ask yourself — are you an analytical, career-minded, committed person? Do you have strong communication skills, integrity, and respect? If you answered yes to all the above statements, then you may want to think about a Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) job. Border service officers keep our country safe, filtering out illegal contraband and illicit substances. They also make legitimate trade and travel possible — a big source of income in our country. From highway crossings to airports, from marine terminals to postal facilities, the CBSA enforces regulations that touch almost every part of Canada. According to its website, the workforce is made up of 14,000 employees, including more than 7,700 uniformed officers across Canada and in 37 international locations. And, you could be one of them! In addition to stimulating work, the pay is nothing to complain about. As a trainee, your annual salary will be anywhere between $64,234 and $71,525. The agency also pays for meals and accommodations during aspiring agents' time in the CBSA College.
