Dorothy Thompson: Michael Patterson

Thompson Dept: He told us that their responsibility is to bring employers from Canada to interview us and for them to offer us employment, Dorothy Thompson, a student who registered for courses to become a resident-care aide, said Wednesday in a phone interview, according to Globe and Mail. The fee, she was told, would help offset the costs of bringing employers to Jamaica and providing their accommodation, she said and marmicmon and its principal, Michael Patterson, acted as the matchmaker between students in the program and prospective employers in Canada, students said. Ms. Thompson, 40, said she spent about $8,000 on the program, including a $1,500 consulting fee to Marmicmon. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
