My friends and I applied with this agency. We paid Php50K and promised us jobs in Alberta. When the time came for the "first batch" to supposedly fly abroad, the agency's people is nowhere to be found. We submitted all our passports and red ribbon papers with them. Some people told us to file for illegal recruitment here with NBI. And some of us applicants are still hoping that the agency people connected with the agency in Alberta Canada continue to work with our papers.  we don't know what to do. please help us!

I contacted Service Alberta and I regret to inform you that there is NO LICENSED EMPLOYMENT AGENCY under that name in Alberta and the phone number you gave is NOT EVEN IN CANADA,Why would you send money to a Canadian Agency not even located in Canada Next Time you can easily verify at Service Alberta www.servicealberta.ca

Hi

the company's name is Columban Manpower Agency. +1(781)995-2448 PO box1045 edmonton, alberta canada 803-9707-110 ST TSK2L9
this is the address and phone number we have.  thanks for the help.

1.  781 is not an area code for Alberta (780)
2.  Street Address in Edmonton  should be 9707 110 ST NW and the Postal Code is T5K 2L9
3.  Search the yellow pages for the address, I think that you will find that is just a post box

50 K in pesos is about 1,000$ so multiplied by 300 thats about 1500 months salary to an average Filipino.Sad....

Just wondering if anyone of you, who already paid with corresponding proofs, could take the risk of reporting that agency to proper authorities here in Canada?
