面试的问题大都围绕着工作能力，经验，学历，知识水平等和工作直接相关的方面。根据加拿大人权法规定，有些面试问题是非法的。虽然回不回答随你，但回答了未必会对你求职有利。

　　加拿大人权法规定，凡是问及种族，宗教信仰，年龄，性取向，婚姻状况，健康状况，是否公民，有无犯罪记录等都是违法的。因为这些与是否录用该求 职者没有直接的关系。雇主如果需要知道和工作相关的信息，要小心用词。比如想知道求职者可否合法工作，只需问是否可以合法在加工作，不需要知道他/她是公 民，永久居民，还是持工作签证的人。

　　以下是一些例子：

　　Citizenship

　　非法：“Are you a Canadian citizen?”

　　合法：“Are you legally entitled to work in Canada?”

　　Marital status

　　非法：“Are you married?” ，“Do you have children?”

　　合法：“Are you able to relocate?”

　　“Will you be able to work overtime as required?”

　　Age

　　非法：“How old are you?”

　　合法：“Are you between the ages of 18 and 64?”

　　Religion

　　非法：“What is your faith?”

　　合法：“Do you require leaves of absence for religious observances?”

　　Race

　　非法：“What is your ethnic background?”

　　合法：None.

　　Handicap

　　非法：“Have you had any recent illnesses or surgeries?”

　　“How is your family’s health?”

　　合法：“Will your condition interfere with performing the essential duties of this job?”

　　Affiliations

　　非法：“What clubs or social groups do you belong to?”

　　合法：“Do you belong to any professional associations or groups relating to this job’s functions?”

　　Criminal offenses

　　非法：“Have you ever been arrested?”
 
　　合法：Employers may ask about criminal convictions on specific charges directly related to the job function, such as fraud in the case of a financial accountant.
