In Canada, there are laws to protect workers from discrimination. For example, an employer is expected to hire employees workers on the basis of skills, experience and education needed for the job.
It is discrimination if an employer doesn't give a job because of your gender, age, race, religion, birthplace, sexual orientation (gay, bisexual, or straight), marital or family status (single, married, or living common-law), mental or physical <span class="noglossary">disability</span>, or because you have a criminal record for an offence that is unrelated to the job you are applying for.
