According to the job posting, Migration Foreign Service Officers will be responsible for various responsibilities within IRCC's migration programmes. They will be responsible for international application processing, risk assessment, interaction, and migration diplomacy initiatives.
According to an article published on Narcity Canada, foreign service officers should be made aware that this is a challenging profession, which would need them to spend roughly two-thirds of their career abroad. They may also be required to work overtime and change jobs every two to four years.
Employees are needed in China, India, Mexico, the Philippines, Senegal, and Turkey, among other countries, according to the IRCC's job posting.
A bachelor's degree from a recognised post-secondary school is required for eligibility. This is the bare minimum, combined with the applicable experience of 'working successfully with people to achieve a common objective' and 'offering assistance or support to others under difficult circumstances'.

The department also specifies experience that it deems an ‘asset’ but not a necessity, such as international job experience, competence in a third language, presentation skills, and experience utilising social media for professional reasons.
