Submit a job ad

If this is your first time posting on the new OAVT job board – please note that you cannot use your old job ad account and must create a new one. OAVT member accounts are not the same as job ad accounts.

Effective January 1, 2026, new legislation – Working for Workers Four Act, Bill 149 & Working for Workers Five Act, Bill 190 – specifies new requirements for job ads in Ontario. Although the legislation only applies to those businesses with 25 or more employees, OAVT has been cautioned to comply with the new rules in order to protect the Association from liability. Therefore, all ads posted to our Job Board must include the following:

• Salary or wage range
  You must post either a specific compensation amount or a pay range no wider than $50,000. This applies to most postings, except for those where the top end exceeds $200,000 annually.
• Disclose all forms of pay
  The definition of “wages” under the ESA includes salary, bonuses, commissions, and other forms of non-discretionary compensation. Be sure your job posting reflects the full scope of compensation offered.
• Hiring details:
  • Whether artificial intelligence (AI) is used to screen, assess, and/or select applicants or if AI is not used in the selection process
  • Whether the job is for a current vacancy or a future start date
  • Any reference asking applicants disclose Canadian experience in postings and/or application forms must be removed

References to ‘veterinary technician’, ‘vet tech’, ‘VT’ or ‘AHT’ are not permitted in the text of job ads or in other linked media such as videos. Text will be adjusted to reflect Registered Veterinary Technician, and other associated media with those references will not be published. 

Job postings for other roles such as receptionists or animal care attendants may be submitted for review, provided the position’s responsibilities do not fall within the scope of duties for which RVTs have received formal post-secondary education. The job title and text of the ad should accurately reflect the duties of the advertised position.
