A 13-week contract is just over 90 days, which keeps it outside the short-term rules.
Check the home’s dates and agreement against the length of your assignment. Provincial short-term rules generally cover stays below 90 days, with eligibility and exemptions assessed alongside local licensing and building requirements.
