Transport Canada Layoffs 2026 — 466 Jobs Cut in National, Canada

Transport Canada is eliminating 607 positions (573 employees and 34 executives) as part of the federal government's Comprehensive Expenditure Review (Budget 2025). This total includes vacant positions, projected attrition, and positions to be eliminated through formal workforce adjustment. Of these, 466 currently filled positions (439 employees and 27 executives) are undergoing formal Workforce Adjustment (WFA) or Career Transition (CT) proceedings — the most direct indicator of employees facing displacement. 1,581 "affected" or "at-risk" status letters have been issued (1,520 to employees, 61 to executives). These notices indicate potential impact and do not necessarily result in departure from the public service. The organization employs 6,666 people in the core public administration as of March 2025. Notifications were issued in Phase 2, Phase 3 of the Government of Canada's workforce reduction process.
