As discussed in our previous Case in Point on the Tribunal decision, an international student completing his engineering degree at McGill University applied for a job at Imperial Oil. In order to qualify, Imperial Oil stipulated that candidates must be eligible to work in Canada on a permanent basis. Although the student anticipated that he would eventually obtain permanent residence status, he was, at that time, on a student visa and upon graduation, would only be eligible to apply for a postgraduate work permit for a fixed term of three years. Nevertheless, the student indicated throughout the hiring process that he was eligible to work in Canada on a permanent basis and was ultimately offered the job. The offer was conditional on proof of his permanent residence status, and because the student was unable to provide such proof, Imperial Oil rescinded its offer.
