POEA issues warning on immigration consultant


Administrator Hans Leo J. Cacdac has issued an advisory to Filipino
overseas job applicants concerning the alleged recruitment activities
of GoWest Jobs, an immigration consultancy firm offering jobs in
Canada.
Cacdac said the Philippine Overseas Employment Office (POLO) in
Toronto reported that Eric Johansen, Director of Immigration Services
Branch, Ministry of the Economy, Province of Saskatchewan has
notified them about alleged fraudulent job offers and LMOs being
made by GoWest Jobs. Mr. Johansen said he received complaints
from Canadian employers that GoWest Jobs has been issuing to
Filipino applicants employment contracts and labor market opinions
(LMO) with forged signatures.
According to Mr. Johansen, several Filipino workers have inquired
from a Saskatchewan employer if the signed employment contracts
and LMOs they got from GoWest Jobs were genuine. The general
manager of SRI Homes, has confirmed that his signature has
been forged in the employment contracts. The Employment and
Social Development Canada (ESDC) also confirmed that the LMOs
were not authentic. .
"All the foreign workers confirmed they paid GoWest Jobs for these
employment contracts and LMO. The foreign workers stated they
paid for and received the employment contracts and LMO from Rose
Lising-Grey and Imelda Saluma," Johansen said in his report.
Cacdac advised applicants who may have been issued fake documents
by GoWest Jobs to execute an affidavit of complaint and submit them
to the POEA for appropriate filing of illegal recruitment cases.
