Immigration Consultant: Park and Worker Program

immigration consultant: Park was charged for acting as an unauthorized immigration consultant through his company and inducing at least 20 foreign nationals to come to Canada for employment under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, according to Metro News. The agency says between 2012 and 2014, he fraudulently collected fees from his clients and got jobs for them without authorization by communicating false or misleading information. The Canada Border Services Agency says in a release that Seong Yong Park, also known as David Park, entered the plea on May 9. He also unlawfully helped businesses obtain labour market impact assessments, which a federal government website says are sometimes called a confirmation letter to show there's a need for a foreign worker if no Canadian is available to do a job. The CBSA said in 2016, there were three significant charges laid under the federal immigration act in Edmonton. Park will be sentenced May 24 in Edmonton provincial court. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
