About the role

Citizenship and Immigration Services seeks a Legal Administrative Specialist to work with asylum applicants in person, gathering essential information and ensuring background checks are complete for adjudication decisions. The role involves interacting with the public, documenting responses, and coordinating with Asylum Officers to advance cases. A background in immigration processing or related compliance is valued, with federal employment benefits included.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
