I remember you, you're the guy who was waiting on an LMO for a painter job in Regina. In Canada, it is ILLEGAL for employers to require a person to pay any recruitment fees. Your employer is supposed to pay for the LMO, your plane ticket (if your job is low-skilled), third party consultants, etc, out of his own pocket. Report this dude for fraud because he's not supposed to be charging you at all. No money is supposed to be transferred from you to him at all.

My employer paid for my LMO, paid for his third party agency to get the LMO, and is paying for my airline ticket and any necessary hotel fees if I have a sufficiently long flight layover. The only thing I have to pay for are my work permit when I land, and extra baggage fees (overweight, 2nd and 3rd bags, etc), all adding up to no more than $350 CAD. None of this money passes through my employer's hands. I will pay these fees when getting my work permit and baggage passes.

It doesn't sound to me like this person is already in Canada. He said that his LMO was rejected. Also, you have to pay for your work permit at the airport if you're a TRV-exempt worker who's showing up without a letter of introduction. Plus, I'm not landing at Vancouver's airport.

Dude, all you have to do is report this guy and the government will punish them. You'll only shoot yourself in the foot if you go to the news media. They'll distort everything you say and hype this incident into oblivion to induce another irrational, populist, knee-jerk reaction by the government. It's ILLEGAL to pass on recruitment costs to foreign workers. If you go to the news media right now, they'll go on trying to perpetuate myths (to the largely uninformed public) about this kind of thing being perfectly legal even though it's not (and hasn't been for some time now).

I was talking about the original poster. It doesn't sound like he's in Canada yet since his LMO was rejected. I think I remember him mentioning from his other posts that he's still in Europe or somewhere.

So from your last posts, I'll have to guess you were already working for that guy without status. Although I think we all support reporting such companies/people, you will also be in trouble as you were working without permission, very likely being banned for some time from Canada and this will also be shown in your record in future applications. Don't know if you think it's worth it or not.

Do you have any emails or recordings of phone conversations where he requested the money from you. Based on what you're writing about your boss, it seems like he was smart enough to ensure that you wouldn't have any evidence to back up your claims. If that's the case, then you're all up Screwed Creek without a paddle. Also, what's your status in Canada? Are you working legally? If so, then this just goes to show the #1 quality of employers who employ people illegally; they're not honest people to begin with. If they're willing to defraud the government's regulations (and are shrewd enough to do it), then what moral compass of theirs will prevent them from ripping you off.
