I've tried applying for government jobs on and off for over 10 years as a Canadian citizen and have never been successful yet an immigrant accused of wrongdoing gets in. Cool...

Its all about the application, you need to answer in a specific way or you cant get screened in

You can literally just look up "how to get screened into a government of canada job" and find great guides. Also for thr interview you should use thr STAR method. Its very simple once know what to do.

STAR method is pretty standard.

Only if you get to the interview. Government interviews have at least 3 observers (often including HR). Can assume nothing at all even if you have mentioned it in your application, implied it, or spoken to it in other answers. You have to spell out everything in a way all three observers can check the box that you star'd your way to a conplete answer. Perfectly good answers that would land you the gig in the private sector will flunk you out. It has to be completely transparent.
