I did an phone interview with a hiring manager at Rogers back in Dec 2025. They told me I am a strong candidate and should expect the final interview stage. However it is April today and I still did not hear back. Does this violate the new "ghosting rule" that was added to bill 149?

The provision that you are referring to did not come into force until January 1, 2026, and applies in the context of employees and employers where the the employee’s work is to be performed in Ontario and/or where the employee’s work is to be performed in Ontario and outside Ontario but the work performed outside Ontario is a continuation of work performed in Ontario.

The provisions that came in force arising from Bill 149 do not apply to employment relationships within the legislative jurisdiction of the Parliament of Canada.

Based on what you have explained, it would appear that the provision may not apply; however, we strongly encourage you to contact us for a consultation so we can fully understand the circumstances of this job opportunity, the jurisdiction of this potential employment relationship, and the timing of communications.
