>The official wording is important, because this is a re-advertisement of a
>job competition we had last year, but could not fill.  Under our
>immigration policies we could not consider foreign applications in the
>original competition.  This year, however, because we could not fill the
>position from that pool, we can review foreign applications (and hire
>foreign nationals).  As the ad states, we are obliged to give priority to
>Canadian applicants, all things being equal, but the best applicant will
>get the job, regardless of citizenship.
>
>Please *DO NOT RESPOND TO THE LIST*. I am not currently subscribed.
>
>Please *DO NOT APPLY TO ME*.  Apply to the address in the body of the ad.

>I will be happy to field queries about the position (as will our chair, at
>the address in the body of the ad).
