Appointment to the Bench

The Canadian Judicial Council has no role in the appointment of judges. Individuals who wish to be considered for appointment to a superior court or the Tax Court of Canada can obtain a Personal History Form from the Judicial Appointments Secretariat in the Office of the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs (phone (613) 992-9400; fax (613) 941-0607).

Individuals who wish to be considered for appointment to a provincial or territorial court should contact the office of the relevant provincial/territorial Minister of Justice for information.
