How TryJobFit turns listings into evidence.

The exact quality gates, definitions, thresholds and limits behind our Canadian job and LMIA-related reports.

From source record to public report

Every public aggregate follows the same four-stage pipeline. A record that fails an earlier stage never contributes to a later count.

  1. Select active records

    Start with active listings that have passed moderation and still have a current source context.

  2. Apply the public quality gate

    Require a role, employer, Canadian location, verifiable source and a description strong enough to evaluate.

  3. Normalize report dimensions

    Map supported provinces and occupation groups, then normalize employer names before counting distinct organizations.

  4. Publish only stable samples

    Expose reports and CSV files only when sample-size and market-breadth thresholds are satisfied.

A listing enters the dataset when

  • The listing is active and not past its recorded expiry date.
  • Moderation status is approved or compatible with the approved legacy state.
  • Role title, employer, and a Canadian city or province are present.
  • A source, external identifier, or application URL is available.
  • The description has at least 120 words. Records between 40 and 119 words remain in review and stay out of public aggregates.
  • The listing does not contain content excluded by the public safety policy.

A record stays out when

  • Inactive, expired, missing-source, or incomplete records.
  • Descriptions that are too short to judge responsibly.
  • Thin records without enough supporting job details.
  • Unsupported or unsafe public-content categories.
  • Filter URLs and duplicate URL variants that do not add distinct value.

LMIA classification boundary

The report reads the LMIA-related signal stored with a listing after ingestion and moderation. It does not infer a positive LMIA decision, employer approval, sponsorship commitment, or candidate eligibility.

What each published field means

The same definitions appear across the overview, province, occupation, city and downloadable CSV reports.

Field
Quality-checked jobs
Active listings that pass every public job-quality rule above.
LMIA-related jobs
Quality-checked listings carrying an LMIA-related dataset signal. This is not proof of a positive government decision.
Distinct employers
Normalized employer names counted once within the selected report dimension.
LMIA share
LMIA-related listings divided by all quality-checked listings in the same report row, rounded to a whole percent.
Leading dimension
The province or occupation group with the largest LMIA-related count inside that row.
Dataset updated at
The most recent listing update represented in the current quality-checked sample.

Freshness and publication thresholds

Reports update from active records and may be cached for up to one hour. Counts move when listings enter, expire, fail review, or leave the active sample.

25

General report minimum

At least 25 quality-checked listings before the market overview is indexable.

25 + 3 + 3

LMIA report minimum

At least 25 LMIA-related listings across three provinces and three occupation groups.

Privacy boundary

Public reports contain listing aggregates only. User profiles, resumes, applications, private workspaces, account identifiers, and analytics events are not part of the market dataset or CSV download.

How to interpret product outputs

Job matching

Match outputs prioritize listings for review. They are not hiring decisions or predictions of sponsorship, interviews, or offers.

ATS and resume analysis

Scores flag structural and relevance issues from the supplied text. They do not reproduce an employer's private screening system.

Public indexability

Thin, expired, duplicate, private, filter-heavy, or unstable pages stay out of the sitemap or carry noindex,follow.
