What questions are employers allowed to ask during an Interview?

During a job interview, employers are allowed to ask questions that relate to an applicant’s qualifications, experience, education, and skills. They can also ask questions that are directly related to the job requirements or the ability to perform the job, such as availability to work certain hours or travel requirements. However, it is important to note that employers are not allowed to ask discriminatory questions related to protected grounds under the Ontario Human Rights Code, such as age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, marital status, or disability. Asking such questions can lead to accusations of discrimination and legal repercussions.
