New Ontario advertising requirements

Ontario has introduced new requirements for publicly advertised job postings, effective 1 January 2026. These changes, implemented through amendments to the Employment Standards Act, 2000 and related regulations, directly affect advertising requirements for Ontario-based employers filing Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) applications under the federal Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
