To keep it simple, interviewers can ask anything surrounding matters of Bona-Fide Occupational Requirements (BFOR):
✅ Are you legally authorised to work in Canada? ✅ At any point in time, will you require immigration sponsorship? ✅ What languages can you speak? What's your proficiency level like for each? (this only applies if it is relevant to the responsibilities of the position) ✅ Are you over the age of 18/19? (some regulated professions require the person to be over a certain age) ✅ Would you be willing to relocate? Would you be willing to travel? Are you available to work overtime? ✅ Do you hold directorships at any organisations? (to determine conflict of interest) ✅ Are you able to lift x kgs? Are you able to walk x metres? Are you able to bend frequently? ✅ Have you ever been convicted for ______ and have not had a pardon granted? (IF it relates to the job)
✅ Are you able to present yourself at the worksite at X A.M/P.M from X to Y days?
If it is not a BFOR and are intrusive, they become ILLEGAL questions; questions about the following are not allowed: ❌ Nationality, age, sex, health status, sociocultural and economic status, race, colour, religion, family status ❌ Personal questions
❌ Have you ever been arrested?
❌ Do you have a car? What do you drive?
