Overview

• The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will cut up to 280 permanent positions, with most reductions concentrated in the National Capital Region.
• The cuts, announced on May 23, 2025, are driven by budget pressures, including the end of temporary pandemic-related funding and government-wide savings initiatives.
• Impacted roles are largely within internal services branches, and some executive positions will also be eliminated.
• Unlike past workforce adjustments, most affected employees will not receive guaranteed reasonable job offers elsewhere in the public service due to fiscal constraints.
• Since 2024, over 3,000 CRA jobs have been cut, with union leaders warning of increased service delays and heightened stress on remaining staff.
