How the readiness check works

Every check on this page is produced by deterministic software rules, not by an AI model guessing at an outcome. Your answers are compared against configured values for the provincial wage threshold, minimum weekly hours, recruitment duration and methods, low-wage caps, documentation and — where it applies — transition plan expectations.

Results are grouped into critical blockers, items needing attention and passed checks, and each finding links to the Government of Canada page behind the requirement. Where a requirement cannot be reliably determined from your answers, it is labelled as requiring verification rather than guessed.
