• A resume and relevant experience
• Online assessments
• Interviews built around Amazon’s Leadership Principles
1. Apply online, pick your shift and book a 30-minute appointment, either on site or over video.
2. Upload proof that you can work in Canada and a badge photo before that appointment, or it gets cancelled.

Quick answers about Amazon jobs
Where should a beginner start at Amazon?
The four warehouse roles teach you everything on the floor for free, and most skip the resume. The best pick is usually the site and shift closest to home.
Do Amazon drivers pay for gas?
Partner drivers in company vans get the fuel supplied. Amazon Flex drivers use their own vehicle as contractors, so gas and upkeep are on them.
How much pressure comes with an Amazon job?
The pace is fast and targets are tracked, which is why work-life balance scores lower than pay. Choosing a schedule that fits your week makes the biggest difference.
Are there Amazon office jobs in Canada?
Yes, mostly in Toronto, Vancouver and Ottawa. Posted examples include IT support at $28.36 to $36.92 an hour and early career area managers at $70,200 to $83,000 a year.
Is Amazon hiring in Quebec?
Its Quebec warehouses have shut. In Montreal, AWS data centres hire bilingual inventory staff for $25.19 to $30.19 hourly.
Book your Amazon shift before it fills
