The CT that was fined $111,000 last year because "wages, work conditions or the job did not match what was listed in offers of employment and that employees were assigned to work different roles than what they were hired for" was given approval for 35 roles since 2022. The fine has since been paid, which means they're eligible to do the same thing again.

I mean...what the heck. Youth unemployment was between 15-20% during that time. You could have thrown a rock from a roof and hit someone looking for work in Etobicoke. Who on earth was vetting these applications? 35 workers...were any Canadians working there?

This stuff makes my blood boil. Take "Canadian" off the name already.

If you're an experienced website designer in Markham looking for your next well-paid role, Houssmax Realty Marketing Ltd. has been unable to find a qualified Canadian to fill said position for $36/hr.

Side note, you're still able to apply through the Job Bank even now that the LMIA approval to hire a temporary foreign worker for the role has been issued. Best of luck!

While youth unemployment in NB is still at 12%, Subway/DW Restaurants Moncton Inc. is more concerned about how many foreign workers they can bring in to exploit. All three postings have received an approved LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) to hire temporary foreign workers for Moncton/Dieppe-based positions, claiming that no qualified applicants could be found locally.

All Canadians are harmed when work permit scams are allowed to go unnoticed.

Applications can still be submitted for these positions, even after approval. If you applied for any of these roles and were rejected despite being qualified, please report the listings on the Job Bank and file a complaint with your local Employment Standards Act regulator. Hiring temporary foreign workers when qualified Canadians are available violates employment law in all provinces.
