Beware of fake NEBC Immigration Project recruiters

Individuals posing as NEBC Immigration Project recruiters have been offering cash incentives to business in exchange for hiring foreign nationals from outside of Canada.

According to a statement from the Rural Community Immigration Pilot project, the organization has been made aware of these individuals, who are not only offering cash incentives, but claiming to be part of the project.

“This is false. The NEBC Immigration Project does not, and will not, engage or promote the services of any immigration or recruitment consultants,” the statement read.

These practices are illegal. There are regulated processes that must be followed to bring foreign workers into the country, and attempting to bypass these processes puts both employers and workers at risk of serious legal and financial consequences.

The NEBC Immigration Project is advising all businesses and community members to exercise caution, and if you are approached by anyone offering recruitment services under the name of NEBC Immigration, decline and report the interaction to authorities.
