TORONTO – Ontario plans to ban employers from requiring Canadian work experience in job postings or application forms, the labour minister announced Thursday, saying it will be an important step to help newcomers get their foot in the door.
“I would say , bring them in for an interview, talk to them, get to know that individual, or talk to them about their experience,” Piccini said. Shanika Niwanthi came to Canada in 2021 as an international student with a Master of Business Administration degree and over a decade of experience in corporate human resources. She also studied global business management at Seneca College.
Niwanthi eventually connected with newcomer women’s services and made use of a government program allowing women with similar experience to hers to earn credentials at top business schools and take a job placement. She is now manager of HR and payroll at the community services organization where she did her placement.
