Employer reduced my wage after receiving PR - is this legal?

[cocoduro]

Hello there.. a little while ago, my employer applied for a LMIA and 'sponsored' my immigration.
To agree with the LMIA wage standards, my pay was raised from $36 to $44/hour.
I received a positive LMIA, applied for PR and landed.. everything very smooth.
The problem is that my employer reduced my wage again, after I received my PR and landed.
With that being said, I am now earning less than the LMIA wage.
Can someone tell me if this is legal?

No this is immigration fraud. Were you aware that the pay raise was only instated to meet wage requirement?

Not really - because they sponsored me and provided me with such wage, I just had a 5 year contract with them but I was never made aware that my wage would be reduced afterwards.

This isn't an immigration issue. You would be best advised to speak with a lawyer specializing in labour relations.

IMO - You want to avoid bringing this to the attention of IRCC since this may be seen as immigration fraud / misrepresentation on your part and create issues for your PR status.
