78 Can an employer ask about Epilepsy on a job application?

Under the Ontario Human Rights Code (Chapter 53, Section 22(2)), it is
illegal for an employer to ask about medical problems on the
application form. A person with Epilepsy (or any other health problem)
is not required to respond to any medical related question. A copy of
the Ontario Human Rights Code and A Guild to the Ontario Human Rights
Code is available by calling Access Ontario at (613) 238-3630.
