Ontario To Ban Requirements for Canadian Work Experience in Job Postings
The government will soon introduce legislation that, if passed, would make Ontario the first province in Canada to help even more internationally-trained immigrants work in the fields they’ve studied in by banning the use of Canadian work experience as a requirement in job postings or application forms.
This change would help more qualified candidates progress in the interview process and follows historic legislation to prohibit regulated professions from using discriminatory Canadian work experience requirements (CER) in licensing for more than 30 occupations, which comes into effect December 1.
