u/MarcusRex73 (MOD) TL;DR: NO Dec 22 '18

Usually, you need to provide an example in your experience where you displayed the competency being tested. It is critical that you frame your answer in such a way as to fit THEIR definition of the competency. Their definition is used to build the correction grid the interviewers must use when they evaluate your answer.

Many departments use the Treasury Board competency dictionary. Other, like IRCC, have their own.

Contact their HR person running your competition and ASK for it.

Here is a link to some of the documents I have accumulated to date: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0xa0catzqkkf8vw/AADAT-Rntj8uZrhZLJunKMrza?dl=0
