Working at CMHC
Working at CMHC is defined by our employees, our culture and our dedication to housing people living in Canada. When you combine bright, passionate people with an inspiring mission, careers come to life.
Make a difference every day
At CMHC, we know housing can make a transformative difference in the life of an individual, a community and a country. That’s why we believe that everyone in Canada should have access to what they deserve: a home that they can afford and meets their needs. It’s a belief we’ve shared and cherished for more than 75 years.
We work with community organizations, non-profit agencies, the private sector and all levels of government to help people living in Canada meet their housing needs.
At CMHC, we do everything from funding transitional shelters to supporting first-time homebuyers.
We help hundreds of thousands of individuals and families afford a new home through our mortgage loan insurance products every year. We’re constantly evolving to build an inclusive and climate-resilient housing system through research, design, innovation and partnerships.
Our values
We’re dedicated to nurturing a culture rooted in integrity, community and impact. That’s why we’re looking for people with a strong experimental and collaborative mindset who communicate authentically and make things better for everyone around them. We believe in working together, which fosters relationships that build trust, makes people feel included, and builds real community with a shared purpose.
All about diversity, inclusion and belonging
It’s our collective responsibility to make sure everyone feels like they belong. Removing systemic racism, inequities and other barriers to housing starts with taking care of our employees. That’s why we’re fostering an inclusive workplace where every employee feels respected, valued and appreciated for who they are. We’re continuously growing and diversifying our talent to make our work better.
We actively support Employee Resource Groups and initiatives that make CMHC a safe space to work and where everyone feels a sense of belonging.
