  • Screened badge: the posting has a NOC code. Confidential employer: the posting has the confidential tag, so the employer's name is hidden.

Email confirmation

Every application and registration must be confirmed by email:

  1. Orbit emails Orbit: confirm your application (or …registration) with a link that is valid for 72 hours by default.
  2. The guest opens it and sees Submission confirmed.
  3. Staff can then convert the submission. See Public submissions.

Submission confirmed

Other confirmation results: Already confirmed, Confirmation link expired (submit again), Link no longer valid (rejected by staff) and Invalid link.

Invalid link

Unconfirmed submissions are deleted automatically once the link expires.
