The Public Prosecution Service of Canada is inviting applications (HTML) from private-sector lawyers or law firms with experience in prosecuting or defending criminal matters, to act as Agents of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Step into a work environment where every day counts. As an Agent for PPSC, you will regularly be in court, working on resolutions and sentencings, arguing contested motions, and running preliminary hearings and trials. By focusing on drug-related prosecutions, you will have the opportunity to work on interesting Charter and evidentiary issues that are important to the administration of justice.
PPSC agents work independently, giving you autonomy in the structure of your workday and office operations while also having the possibility to work on files unrelated to drug prosecution. As an agent you will have the benefit of a dedicated Agent Supervision Unit to support your prosecutorial work.
Ready to make your mark? Apply for Fixed Term Agreements (contracts) that are currently available in Ontario, in the Judicial Districts below:
- Renfrew (Pembroke, Killaloe, Renfew) (Ref: NCRO-2026-07-01)
