DMW reminds Filipinos of no-placement fee policy in Canada

 

The advisory was the first to be issued by Cacdac since his confirmation as DMW chief

The Department of Migrant Workers has issued a reminder that job applicants for Canada are not supposed to pay any placement fee to their broker or agency.

The reminder was made in yesterday's advisory from MDW Secretary Hans Cacdac, which also informed the public that with effect from June 1, the daily minimum wage rate for workers in Canada has risen to CA$17.40 per hour from the previous CA$16.75..

Cacdac reminded would-be job applicants to Canada to apply only with licensed recruitment agencies, which can be found through this link: https://dmw.gov.ph/licensed-recruitment-agencies.

They can also check the approved job orders per country here: https://dmw.gov.ph/approved-job-orders.

Alternatively they can send a private message to the Facebook page, “DMW Anti-Illegal Recruitment and Trafficking in Persons Program” if they are charged fees in exchange for offered jobs in Canada.

Previously, Cacdac also warned would-be OFWs to be wary of visa consultancy firms that offer help in securing student visas to Canada, which they are assured, would allow them to work at the same time. These companies are not licensed to recruit OFWs, and often disappear as soon as they receive the hefty processing fee paid by the worker.
