I wonder how many times it's happened here in the lower mainland. I'm sure there's lot's of people willing to cash in on it setting someone up a job at a restaurant as a skilled cook or a buyer as they called it... |

As a federal government employee, I know staff in an Integrity Services branch who conduct investigations on employers, and third parties (immigration consultants) who charge funds illegally from foreigners (TFWs or temporary foreign workers) so that that these TFWs work in Canada. There are regular compliance reviews in the form of inspections of employer workplaces with no advance notice given to the employer. For example, there was a Timmy Ho's franchise owner in Alberta who was forcing his foreign worker employees to pay back overtime pay to him when he kindly drives them to an ATM after work to give him cash. Integrity Services Officers who inspected that Timmy Ho's franchise, interviewed the workers, and found the franchisee guilty of breaking the law. That motherfucker won't be hiring TFWs any time soon. :lawl: These are serious crimes under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, IRPA, section 91. The good news is that immigration consultants who break the law, under IRPA, are facing jail time like this dude: https://www.canada.ca/en/border-serv...wbdisable=true From Canada Border Services Agency May 23, 2017 Edmonton, Alberta Canada Border Services Agency On May 9, 2017, Seong Yong Park, also known as David Park, plead guilty to three offences in violation of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). The Edmonton man was charged for acting as an unauthorized immigration consultant through his company and inducing at least 20 foreign nationals to come to Canada for employment under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Between 2012 and 2014, Park fraudulently collected fees from his clients and secured employment for these individuals without authorization by communicating false or misleading information. As part of his services, he also unlawfully assisted businesses with obtaining Labour Market Impact Assessments (previously known as Labour Market Opinions). Park’s sentencing will take place on May 24, 2017 in Edmonton Provincial Court. :smug: |

This has been running for decades... somehow it's news today? I remember back then there were "contacts" in the Chinese student groups who served kinda promoters for anyone wishing to stay after graduation. But it was no where near the 200k... I mean, CIC had a pretty well-developed program for graduates to stay in Canada. So much so that one'd apply just for the heck of it. Many of my friends did. Only graduate who would be interested were those who didn't want to work at all. (one was able to obtain an open work visa, find jobs and gets PR after certain time on job. The con was for people who wanted to get the PR, but not finding work) I guess CIC has really toughened the requirement for their PR program. |
Has anybody noticed Fan Tuen Delivery cars driving around GVRD? Seems to me they operate a similar scheme... I could never fathom somebody working for a food delivery service...using their own luxury car as the delivery vehicle. |

Looks like they went to richmond and came back with a few ideas. Take a look at any asian mall.. aberdeen parker place crystal mall to name a few. Open a shop there as an entrepreneur, then sell to the next person in line. |
