107.9. No employer may hire employee candidates unless the employer has first made a declaration of labour needs for a number equal to or greater than the number of candidates hired, in accordance with paragraph 1 of section 107.8.
An employer who has declared a labour need is not required to hire a candidate referred by the Service. The employer may not, however, ask an association referred to in section 107.1 to refer a candidate to the employer, whether or not the association holds a licence.
