The employer is responsible for determining whether the position to be filled is a regulated occupation that requires mandatory certification, licensing or registration. If this is the case, evidence must be provided in the application that the candidate meets, or is able to meet, these requirements.
Employers must provide the nominee applicant with a written offer of employment which must be signed by both parties.
The offer must state:
An indeterminate job has no pre-determined end date. Full-time employment means that the employee is expected to work year round and, on average, at least 30 hours a week.
The employer and the nominee applicant must be establishing an employer-employee relationship: applications will not be approved for individuals hired under a contract for service or independent contractor agreement.
If the employer is offering benefits in addition to the statutory requirements, those benefits should be noted in the offer (e.g. pension or medical plans, disability insurance, sick pay, extra paid vacations).
If the position is covered by a collective agreement, that agreement should be referenced.
The written offer must be on official company letterhead and addressed to the nominee applicant. The offer must be signed and dated by a person authorized to hire employees, and also by the nominee applicant, to indicate their acceptance.
