A group in Alberta is alerting the federal government about an apparent scam that has immigrants paying large sums of money for jobs, only for them to be disappointed, according to a report.
Under the scheme, employers, immigration consultants and recruiters sell labour market impact assessments (LMIAs), which should have been fully covered by an employer hiring immigrants because they can’t find Canadians to fill a role.
This scam has been evolving for the past 30 years, said Centre for Newcomers CEO Anila Umar in a CBC report.
