New advertisement guidelines
You will be considered to have conducted the minimum recruitment efforts required if you:
Advertise on the national Job Bank for a minimum of fourteen (14) calendar days; and Conduct similar recruitment activities consistent with the practice within the occupation.
The above must take place a maximum of three (3) months prior to applying for a LMO.
In addition, you must: Demonstrate reasonable ongoing recruitment efforts which include communities that traditionally face barriers to employment (Aboriginals, older workers, other disadvantaged groups).
For example, advertisement could be on recognized Internet job sites, in local and regional newspapers, in ethnic newspapers and Internet sites, at community resource centres (Aboriginal and newcomers) and local regional employment centres.
You must be prepared to demonstrate that you meet the advertising requirements by providing proof of advertisement and the results of your efforts to recruit Canadians or permanent residents as part of the LMO process (e.g., information on the qualifications of Canadian applicants and why they were rejected). Records of your efforts should be kept for a minimum of six years, as stipulated in other federal and provincial legislations, such as the Income Tax Act.
HRSDC/SC reserve the right to require alternative or additional advertising efforts (i.e., increased duration (length of time) or broader advertisement (whether local, regional, or national)) if, in an officer judgment, additional efforts would yield qualified Canadian citizens or permanent residents who are available to work.
