Are you interested in Canadian politics? Would you enjoy working alongside Members of Parliament? Want to earn more than $18,000 for this incredible experience? 

Each year, 40 students are selected from across Canada to participate in the House of Commons Page Program. In the Chamber and around Parliament Hill, Pages support parliamentary democracy by providing a range of services to Members of Parliament. This unique work experience broadens their knowledge of the rich traditions of the Canadian parliamentary system.  

Pages must be bilingual (English and French), have experience providing client service, experience managing multiple priorities, and experience communicating and collaborating with peers. The selected applicants will begin their post-secondary studies in September 2025 at one of the four universities in the National Capital Region, La Cité or Algonquin College. 

Note that students in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and civil law programs will need to take a reduced course load during their first year and make up those courses in the summer if they want to participate in the Page Program.

Deadline to apply for the Page Program for Fall 2025 is November 10^th, 2024.

Every year the University of Ottawa is home to most of the 40 House of Commons pages. Here’s why:

• a high-quality education provided by the only university in the region to be ranked in the top 200 universities in the world
• a unique French immersion stream and an added bonus of up to $4,000 for studying in French
• the opportunity to become a bilingual professional by studying in both French and English at the world’s largest bilingual (English-French) university
• a short walking distance to Parliament Hill, Canada’s political epicentre
