No more scams. No more fear. Alberta is stepping up for newcomers! 🛡️🇨🇦
Alberta’s new Bill 26 (The Immigration Oversight Act) is here to protect you. We’re putting an end to exploitation and making sure every worker is treated with respect.
Here is what’s changing:
🚫 No More Scams: It is now illegal to sell job offers or charge "secret" fees.
📄 Licensing is Mandatory: Employers and consultants MUST be licensed and registered to operate.
🔍 Public Registry: You can now check a public list to see if a recruiter is authorized.
🛂 Your Documents Stay With You: Withholding passports is strictly banned.
⚖️ Real Consequences: Rule-breakers face heavy fines, bans, or even jail time.
🗣️ Safe Reporting: Report abuse through a discreet process without fearing for your permit.
Alberta is a place of opportunity—let’s keep it safe and fair for everyone! 📍
