USA: Oye! Times readers Get FREE $30 to spend on Amazon, Walmart…The Toronto Police Service would like to make the public aware of an arrest in an immigration Fraud investigation.
During October 2014, 31 Division Fraud Squad began an investigation where a large number of people had been allegedly defrauded of over $1.5 million by GoWest Jobs International at 1315 Finch Avenue West #500. GoWest Jobs International is a recruiting agency primarily dealing with immigrant workers.
It is alleged that:
– individuals, their family and friends from other countries, would be recruited for jobs in Canada
– many of the foreign applicants are of Filipino descent
– payment was requested for positive documents, references and employment contracts to be provided to applicants
– the application would be submitted to the government agency in the foreign country
– this paperwork is necessary to be allowed to work in Canada under the government program
– the applicants were then denied entry to Canada due to the fraudulent documents and contracts submitted on their behalf
– the applicant would then be banned from re-applying for two years
– the company received over $1.5 million in fees from over 500 applicants recruited in six different countries
