If the person (volunteering/working) is performing a role that would normally be paid, or it could be performed by a Canadian for pay - it is considered work.chibiks said:If you sign a legal waiver of your right to be paid and determine to work on a non-salaried basis, I dont think it is an offence but correct me if I am wrong. Legally speaking - the individual legally waived his right to be paid even though it is normally paid.
NB: Volunteers do jobs that are normally paid. I know bell has volunteer jobs that have strict interviewing processes etc.
But I see ur point PMM, the job was not originally advertised as a volunteer position but I am sure there are legal ways around these things...
Also note that "pay" is not always money.
