- Abstract
A group of more or less 15 persons working in the United Arab Emirates paid a fee between 6,000$ and 12,000$ each to an agency to have work in Canada. But when they arrived, there was no job for them and their money was gone and the agent was even asking for more money. They have been put 15 in a house with no legal right to work in Canada.
The agency, Worldwide Workforce, is denying that it is a scam. But everything seems to prove the opposite because it should not even cost up to 6,000$ to bring a migrant worker in Canada.
