| 15. | Are there any shortcuts to filing a permanent Labor Certification application? | | | |

| | | | | | • |
The employer must provide evidence of a pattern of normal industry recruitment efforts conducted in the six months preceding the application filing date. A single three day ad does not constitute an acceptable pattern |  |
| • | The application must list only the minimum experience requirements and standard requirements for training and education. The job duties/responsibilities on the application must not exceed those considered normal for the occupation |
