In May 2010, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (“HRSDC”) revised its minimum advertising requirements applicable to labour market opinion applications. These revisions include the following changes (among others):

1. Reference to Newfoundland and Labrador’s job bank;
2. For Skill Level B occupations, a requirement that recruitment activities performed in addition to the job bank posting be for a minimum of 14 days;
3. A more detailed list of what information must be included in the job bank advertisement;
4. The addition of 3 new variations to minimum advertising requirements; and
5. More detailed information regarding advertisement criteria specific to Quebec.

My article on Labour Market Opinions has been updated to reflect these revisions.
