Philippines issues warning on immigration consultant GoWest Jobs

Editor January 5, 2015

MANILA – The Philippines has warned Filipinos searching for jobs in Canada about fraudulent job offers by an immigration consultancy firm.

Administrator Hans Leo Cacdac, of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, also issued an advisory to Filipino job applicants concerning the alleged recruitment activities
of immigration consultancy firm GoWest Jobs which is offering jobs in Canada.

He said the Philippine Overseas Employment Office in Toronto reported that Eric Johansen, Director of Immigration Services Branch of the Ministry of the Economy in Saskatchewan province, has notified them about the alleged fraudulent job offers and labor market opinion being made by GoWest Jobs.

Johansen said he received complaints from Canadian employers that GoWest Jobs has been issuing to Filipino applicants’ employment contracts and labor market opinions with forged signatures.

He said several Filipino workers have inquired from a Saskatchewan employer if the signed employment contracts and labor market opinions they got from GoWest Jobs were genuine. The general manager of SRI Homes has confirmed that his signature was forged in the employment contracts.

The Employment and Social Development Canada also confirmed that the labor market opinions were not authentic.

Johansen, in his report, said: “All the foreign workers confirmed they paid GoWest Jobs for these employment contracts and labor market opinions. The foreign workers stated they paid for and received the employment contracts and labor market opinions from Rose Lising-Grey and Imelda Saluma.”

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. (Mindanao Examiner)
