Since January 1, 2026, Ontario employers with 25 or more employees must include certain information in publicly advertised job postings. Here’s what to look for when you apply.
Pay or a pay range
Postings must show the expected pay or a range. A range can’t be wider than $50,000 a year, unless the top of the range is over $200,000.
Whether AI is used in hiring
If an employer uses artificial intelligence to screen, assess or select applicants, the posting must say so.
Whether the job actually exists
Postings must state whether they’re for an existing vacancy.
No “Canadian experience” requirement
Employers can’t require Canadian work experience in a posting or its application form.
Hearing back after an interview
If you’re interviewed, the employer must tell you whether a hiring decision has been made within 45 days of your last interview.
Every job on VBC North is checked against these rules before it goes live.
