Ontario Human Rights Commission: Canadian Experience

Canadian experience: Employers and professional regulators who require Canadian experience from newcomers when they apply for a job or accreditation could run afoul of Ontarios Human Rights Code, according to The Star. Although employers and professional regulatory bodies cant exclude anyone based on race, ancestry, colour, place of origin and ethnic origin, the new policy targets the requirement that newcomers have Canadian experience when searching for jobs and professional accreditation and The Ontario Human Rights Commission OHRC on Monday launched a new policy directive denouncing the requirement for so-called Canadian experience as discriminatory.
