Starting January 1, 2026, Ontario dealerships will need to follow new job posting rules:

• Show a salary range (max $50K spread unless over $200K).

• Disclose AI if used in screening or hiring.

• Remove “Canadian experience required” from all postings.

• State if the job is for a current or future vacancy.

• Tell all interviewees the decision within 45 days.

• Keep records for three years.

Why it matters:
Technicians, service advisors, F&I managers, every role counts. These rules impact your careers page, job board listings, and even ads your managers post on social media.

Other provinces are moving in the same direction. B.C. and P.E.I. already require salary disclosure, and others are exploring similar laws. If you hire across provinces, expect the strictest standard to apply.
