Why the Portal Was Temporarily Closed
The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) suspended the portal on July 16 to carry out essential system enhancements. According to the Board, the temporary shutdown became necessary after numerous applicants reported issues such as site crashes, login errors, and incomplete submissions.
The system upgrade is designed to improve the platform’s ability to handle high traffic and ensure a more transparent, fair, and efficient recruitment process.
