Shared Services Canada Layoffs 2026 — 477 Jobs Cut in Canada

Shared Services Canada is eliminating 728 positions (699 employees and 29 executives) as part of the federal government's Comprehensive Expenditure Review (Budget 2025). This total includes vacant positions, projected attrition, and positions to be eliminated through formal workforce adjustment. Of these, 477 currently filled positions (448 employees and 29 executives) are undergoing formal Workforce Adjustment (WFA) or Career Transition (CT) proceedings — the most direct indicator of employees facing displacement. 1,339 "affected" or "at-risk" status letters have been issued (1,290 to employees, 49 to executives). These notices indicate potential impact and do not necessarily result in departure from the public service. The organization employs 9,183 people in the core public administration as of March 2025. Notifications were issued in Phase 2 of the Government of Canada's workforce reduction process.
