Basic salary in Canada ranges from $8 to $10 an hour for service workers like waiters.
But Domingo reminded those who are interested to know the risks and challenges that they would face once they start working abroad.
"More than a personal decision, family decision ito dapat. Siyempre iiwan mo ang pamilya mo, mahihirapan ka sa ibang bansa," Domingo added.
The POEA also warned the public to avoid online applications as it does not allow transactions with online recruiters. it is also important to check the office and the validity of the license of a recruitment agency.
Domingo stressed that those interested in working in Canada, specifically in Saskatchewan, need not pay a placement fee.
"Wala pong placement fee kapag sa Saskatchewan kayo magtatrabaho," he said.
The director also informed workers that upon hiring, employers should shoulder the worker's plane tickets to Canada.
