Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) - *Canada, Ottawa, Ontario

The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) is seeking contracted Designated Representatives (DRs) to support and represent vulnerable individuals who cannot represent themselves in immigration and refugee proceedings. This appears to be an opportunity mainly for qualified individuals, although businesses may wish to confirm whether applications can be submitted through an organization or only by individual contractors. The work may involve protecting and advancing a person’s interests, applying sound judgment, understanding immigration and refugee processes, demonstrating cultural competence, and working with vulnerable populations. Experience in social work, immigration law, advocacy, or related fields is identified as an asset. Assignments would be made on an as-needed basis, and the IRB estimates up to 100 resulting contracts. Work volumes are not guaranteed and may vary based on case needs, language and cultural considerations, suitability, and contractor availability. Service regions include Quebec and the Atlantic Provinces; Ontario, including Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area; and Western Canada, including British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. The notice lists Ottawa and Montreal in the Eastern Region, Toronto and the GTA in the Central Region, and Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Winnipeg among the Western locations. The stated submission deadline is December 31, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. The application package appears to require: a completed and signed DR Program Application Form, a résumé or curriculum vitae, proof that the applicant is at least 18 years old, and proof of Canadian citizenship or legal authorization to work in Canada. Documents are to be submitted electronically to [email protected]. This opportunity may be relevant to an individual or organization with appropriate experience in immigration or refugee matters, advocacy, social services, or work with vulnerable populations. However, the supplied notice does not establish that any particular applicant qualifies, and it is important to confirm the eligibility rules, application process, contract terms, evaluation criteria, regional requirements, and current deadline in the official Canada Buys notice and its attachments before applying. The notice was amended on June 9, 2026, so applicants should use the latest version of the official documents.

Defence Construction Canada - National Capital Region - Ottawa, Ontario

This appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice—not a request for proposals—for a potential major infrastructure contract at the Canadian Armed Forces’ Forward Operating Location in Iqaluit, Nunavut. Defence Construction Canada issued it to help potential design-build teams assess their interest and capacity, and begin any required security-clearance sponsorship steps. The potential project may include airfield improvements; aircraft hangars, aprons and taxiways; ammunition storage; fuel facilities; accommodations; offices and planning facilities; warehouses; a fire hall; multi-purpose buildings; IT, cyber and logistics infrastructure; and related paving and site work. The preliminary estimates include approximately 7,500 m² of hangar space, 500,000–750,000 litres of fuel storage, 4,000 m² of accommodations, a 60,000 m² apron and substantial additional building and asphalt areas. The anticipated delivery model is a Modified Design-Build contract covering requirements validation, concept development, planning, design and construction. The notice indicates that the total contract value may exceed $5 billion and that the work may be delivered over multiple years. The future procurement is expected to assess northern design and construction experience, comparable facilities experience, integrated design-build capability, key personnel, northern logistics and climate planning, constructability, Indigenous participation and team capability through interviews. Security requirements are expected, and the notice states that security clearances may need to be initiated through sponsorship. There is no guarantee that the contract will proceed, that the RFP will be released, or that clearances will be granted within the anticipated timelines. The notice lists Ottawa, Ontario as the tender location, but the actual project site is Iqaluit, Nunavut. It shows a closing date of January 11, 2027, while the description says the formal RFP is projected for Fall 2027, subject to DND approval; these dates should be confirmed in the official notice. The description is also truncated, so important participation, Indigenous-content, security and submission details may be missing. This opportunity potentially matches large, experienced design-build organizations or consortiums with northern and defence-related infrastructure capabilities. Smaller or specialized Canadian businesses may wish to monitor the future solicitation for subcontracting, teaming or Indigenous-participation opportunities. Do not rely onthis summary when preparing a submission: review the complete official notice and any later RFP documents at the MERX source link, confirm all dates and requirements, and obtain professional advice where security or teaming arrangements are involved.

Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) - *Canada, Ottawa, ON

This open Expression of Interest (EOI) is from the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) for Elders and Elder Helpers who may provide Indigenous cultural support to offenders in CSC institutions in the Prairies Region. Potentially relevant applicants include individual Elders, Elder Helpers, or Indigenous organizations connected with First Nation, Métis, or Inuit communities. Applicants would generally need to be recognized by their Indigenous community, other Elders, and teachers as having knowledge of relevant traditional culture, ceremonies, protocols, teachings, and healing practices. Typical Elder services may include counselling, cultural teachings, healing circles, spiritual services and ceremonies, support for offenders’ healing plans, advice to CSC staff, participation in case conferences, and—when requested and agreed—escorting offenders for ceremonial or spiritual purposes. Elder Helpers may assist with ceremonies, supplies, scheduling, protocols, offender supervision, teachings, counselling when directed, and reports or meetings. The notice appears to be seeking expressions of interest rather than issuing a conventional purchase contract immediately. It may allow CSC to identify potential service providers for future work. The listing shows a closing date of January 13, 2027, at 2:00 p.m.; the tender record lists Ottawa, Ontario, but the services concern CSC institutions in the Prairies Region. Before responding, review the complete Statements of Work and the official tender notice for the submission process, required documentation, service locations, security and institutional access requirements, contracting terms, rates, and any additional eligibility or recognition requirements. This summary does not confirm that any particular applicant qualifies, and the official notice should be verified before submitting an expression of interest. Documents provided include the Elders and Elder Helpers Statements of Work on Canada Buys.

The ITQ itself closed on October 16, 2025, and this notice mainly lists the qualified respondents for four streams: portal, vehicle-mounted, handheld, and personal radiation detectors.

The notice says the work relates to the National Capital Region/Gatineau, Quebec.

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This is an advance notice—not a bid solicitation or request for proposals—for potential construction, consulting, maintenance, and other real-property opportunities at 14 Wing Greenwood in Nova Scotia. Defence Construction Canada (Atlantic Region) is using the notice to inform contractors and consultants about possible future work supporting base operations and housing programs. Potential opportunities may be advertised later through open tenders or RFPs on MERX and, where applicable, Canada Buys. Some lower-value work may be offered only to businesses listed on specific source lists. The notice identifies an Open Construction Source List (OCSL) and Quick Response Tender lists for commercial general contracting, residential general contracting, and mechanical contracting. Businesses interested in these channels should review the relevant MERX postings and application instructions; a MERX account is reportedly required for the OCSL application. Some projects may involve security requirements, and interested businesses may need to begin a sponsorship or security-clearance process. The notice warns that clearances may not be granted or completed within expected timelines. Certain projects may also be reserved for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business. There is no guarantee that any of the potential projects will proceed, and this notice does not itself invite bids. The listed closing date is March 31, 2027 at 1:00 p.m.; confirm whether this is an information or source-list deadline in the official notice. The tender data lists Bedford, Nova Scotia, while the notice describes work at 14 Wing Greenwood, so the location and other metadata should also be checked. A business that provides relevant construction, engineering, environmental, maintenance, consulting, or related services may find this notice potentially relevant, but its suitability and any future eligibility requirements cannot be determined from this advance notice alone. Review the complete official MERX notice and any later solicitation carefully before applying or submitting a bid: https://www.merx.com/public/solicitations/3892363401/abstract?language=EN

Defence Construction Canada - Atlantic Region - Bedford, Nova Scotia

This tender appears to be an Advance Procurement Notice from Defence Construction Canada for upcoming work at 5 Wing Goose Bay in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador. It is not a bid solicitation yet, so there is no immediate request for pricing or proposals. The notice is mainly meant to alert contractors and consultants to prepare for future opportunities in base operations, housing agency, and real property work. A few points stand out: - Future opportunities may be tendered through MERX, Canada Buys, source lists, standing offers, or standing offer agreements. - Some work may require security clearances, and the notice says sponsorship for clearances may be needed in advance. - Some projects may be set aside for Indigenous businesses under the Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business (PSIB). - The Open Construction Source List for 5 Wing Goose Bay is currently open on MERX, and interested contractors are invited to apply. For a Canadian business owner, this looks potentially relevant if you do construction, consulting, trades, environmental, or related services and can work on federal defence-related projects in Labrador. The key next step would be to review the official MERX notice and any attached document listing the anticipated projects, because the future opportunities, timelines, security requirements, and eligibility conditions are not fully confirmed here. Please verify the official notice carefully before taking any action or preparing a bid.
