If anything I believe in many cases these days it might be *harder* to get a job if someone from your family already works for the organization you're applying to.

I have worked with enough children of senior officials that I would have a hard time believing it would it is harder to apply for a job.
At the same time, I don't think it is outright malfeasance. Government officials are likely to give good career advice to their children, likely to know who is hiring, their children are likely in Ottawa, etc.
I think part of the problem is that many departments have phased out national recruiting campaigns, so hires are increasingly people already in Ottawa who can take short term contracts as a way into the system.
