Nothing in the posting or the application form may require Canadian work experience. The pay line is not required where the pay, or the top of the range, is above CAD 200,000 a year. Amounts in the pack are Canadian dollars; the store price is in US dollars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat counts as AI here?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Employment Standards Act describes AI as a machine-based system that infers from its input to produce predictions, recommendations, content, or decisions. Resume rankers and automated scoring usually qualify; a plain keyword filter or an applicant database usually does not. The disclosure sheet carries the quick check, and the close calls go to counsel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the 45-day rule?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery candidate you interview must hear whether a hiring decision has been made within 45 days of their last interview.

The posting and its application forms are kept for three years after the posting comes down, and records of the 45-day notices are kept for three years after each notice is given. The Documentation Archive calculates the first; the Notes tab covers both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it stay current as the rules change?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach file carries a last-reviewed date so you can see how current it is, and meaningful updates are released as the rules change. The requirements come from legislation that took effect January 1, 2026, and amendments do happen, so check the date before you lean on a number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the refund policy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDigital products are covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee.
