Asking for nationality is legal even in Canada. Ask most any Canadian. But they have a nice way around it - by asking for a Social Insurance Card number - of the first digit is a '9' then they are ineligibly for employment.

Don't know where you're getting your information from but it is WRONG, it is NOT permitted for a prospective employer to ask for your Social Insurance Number before you have been hired. It is prohibited by law.

See #2 on the list of "When I don't have to provide my SIN?" from the Service Canada website:

The ONLY people who have the LEGAL right to have access to your SIN are you yourself, your employer (only post-hire), financial institutions, and only certain other Government of Canada departments.



The Human Rights Act of every Canadian province also prohibits prospective employers from asking one's nationality, refugee status, citizenship or residency status during the application or interview process. They essentially only have the right to ask if you may legally work in Canada.



So while unscrupulous employers may try, the law is clear and you are under no obligation to respond to any questions relating to nationality, marital status, chidren or future plans to have children, age, religion, etc.

I can't argue with that - It did sound very rude.

To all the other members of the VN Forum....... I apologize profusely for the use of bold text in the previous posting.聽 I'm sure that you're all very tired of seeing bold text on this forum. What can I say other than...."The Devil made me do it."?

The devil?
I think we can forgive a little shouting, especially when a poster is rude and/or adds a touch of racism or bigotry into a thread,
I've noticed a few comments in the Vietnam forum that are nasty, rude, plain lies and/or pushing the edge of bigotry - it's unacceptable.

Internet man 聽 (I really liked that post, it tickled me, even if it was a little naughty.)

No, I don't think so. I think Jaitch is a careful and responsible person. Still I don't care about information, because I am not good at everything to know it's right or wrong. But with me, when a person tries to make diffirences in the paragraph, to make others easy to read, I respect him/her. In Vietnam, we have "V膬n l脿 ng瓢峄漣", it means what you wrote, it express yourself.

BTW, when I teach my students, it's not relevant to IT, but I always force them write everything is clearly, scientific, and it's very important to me, I always force them make everything more beautiful, even with a small thing. If they are negligent (not careful) in doing something, I will force them do it many times, until I feel OK. I always said "you want to become a developer only, or want to become a leader? A developer writes a program, but leader writes a document!".
You know, I am not good at English, but I wrote many posts here, that's because I am quite good at Vietnamese .

Since we're pointing out things non-native speakers may miss, it's freezing the balls off a brass monkey...
