The same rules for interviewing apply to non-students and students. The goal of the interview is to understand the student’s experiences, skills and interest in the role. Their student status does not mean you can ask them questions that are inappropriate or illegal. Avoid questions related to citizenship, national origin, race, or ancestry, religion, sexuality or family status. Employers are governed by provincial and territorial human rights laws which are guided by the Canadian Human Rights Act.
