Ontario has announced plans to introduce legislation next week that would ban employers from requiring Canadian work experience in job postings or application forms.

If the legislation is made law, it would help qualified candidates to progress in the interview process while also easing the provincial immigration eligibility enabling international graduates from one-year college programs to qualify for permanent residence.
