✅ Keep data genuine Empty source fields stay empty. This Actor never invents employer contacts or job details.

🔍 What does this Actor do?

Canada Job Bank Scraper collects public Canadian jobs from jobbank.gc.ca into a structured, ready-to-use feed. It is built for job boards, recruitment operations, immigration services, and labour-market teams that need current roles without repeatedly sorting through the same listings.

Each record keeps the source's job title, employer, location, salary, NOC classification, published application route, and other details Job Bank makes available. Give it a keyword and city, provide an existing Job Bank search, or check a specific posting.

✨ Why teams choose it

• Keep a Canadian jobs feed current with stable job IDs and clear source links.
• Filter precisely by province, NOC code, date, LMIA status, salary and wage bands, terms of employment, work schedule, workplace type, language, direct employers, international candidates, and source.
• Run several keywords in one go, and keep keyword searches strictly on topic even when sorted newest first.
• Preserve the real application route, including an email only when the posting explicitly publishes one.
• Optionally add a contact email for each employer, taken from the company's own public website, to build outreach lists next to the job data.
• Schedule a watchlist and receive only new, updated, or expired jobs in change-only mode.
• Review Job Bank and partner-board jobs separately, instead of mixing them without a source label.

🔔 Change-only monitoring

The first run with new_and_updated establishes a baseline and labels current records as NEW. Later runs save only NEW, UPDATED, and verified EXPIRED records. Unchanged jobs are kept in the saved watchlist state but are not written to the dataset in this mode.

Use the same stateName and the same search scope for every scheduled run. A failed or capped run does not advance expiry checks, helping prevent false expired signals.

💰 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-result pricing. You pay for records saved to the dataset, with the current event rates shown on the Apify Store page. In change-only monitoring, unchanged jobs are not saved as results. Optional employer email discovery is a separate charge, billed only on jobs where an email is actually found; an email already listed in the posting is never billed. There is no separate subscription required to get started. Free Apify plans can collect up to 100 jobs per run and 10 runs per day; paid plans have no such limit.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Can I track a single city or occupation?

Yes. Use the keyword and Canadian city fields, or create several city and keyword searches in one run. You can also target a province or NOC code.

What does the LMIA filter include?

Choose LMIA requested, LMIA approved, or both. The Actor keeps the source-published status on each result so you can keep those groups separate after collection.

How do recurring updates work?

Schedule the Actor with new_and_updated, retain the same state name and search scope, and use the resulting change feed in your workflow. A first monitoring run establishes the starting point; later successful runs save meaningful changes.

How does employer email discovery work?

Turn on enrichEmails. For each employer, the Actor uses the apply email from the posting when there is one. Otherwise it reads the employer website linked in the posting, or finds the company's own website and confirms it matches the employer, then reads its contact pages. Only addresses the company itself publishes are returned, for example info@ or careers@. A few small businesses publish a personal-looking address on their site; those are labelled named. It is best effort: in our test about 4 in 10 jobs got an email, and some employers publish none. Lookups run once per employer, so several jobs from the same company share one result.

Why is an employer contact or salary empty?

Some listings do not publish every detail. Empty fields indicate the source did not make that information available. The Actor does not create generic contacts, salaries, or job attributes.
