考前须知

  • Job ads list requirements (must-haves) and assets (good to have). Assets can put you ahead, but they are not mandatory.
  • NOC 2021 uses a five-digit code structure (older versions used four digits).
  • NOC 2021 groups occupations into six TEER categories, from TEER 0 (management) to TEER 5 (short work demonstration, no formal education).
  • The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre warns never to pay deposits or fees for a job, and lists offers for jobs you never applied for as a warning sign.
  • You do not have to give your SIN to fill out a job application. It is needed only after you are hired.
  • A new employee must give their SIN to the employer within 3 days of starting work.
  • If you do not give your employer a completed TD1, tax is deducted using only the basic personal amount. A new TD1 is due within 7 days of a change to your tax credits.
  • A vulnerable sector check must be requested by the hiring organization and is done by the local police service where you live (in British Columbia, through the Criminal Records Review Program).

常见问题

Is this an official government or employer certificate?

No. When you pass the final assessment you get a PassEveryTest Certificate of Completion, which shows you finished this general skills course. It is not an accredited qualification or a government, employer or vendor certification.

How does the final assessment work?

It has 35 questions drawn at random from the course question bank, with a 35-minute time limit. You need 80% to pass, and each attempt gives you a new mix of questions.

Should I apply if I do not have every asset listed in a job ad?

Yes, if you meet all the requirements. Assets are good to have but not mandatory.

When do I give an employer my SIN?

Only after you are hired. Give it within 3 days of starting work. You do not have to give it on a job application.

Where do I report a job scam?

Report it to your local police, through the Report Cybercrime and Fraud website, or to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501. On Job Bank, use the "Report a problem with this job posting" button.
