Kenyan Man in Canada Warns Against Agents Promising Jobs: "It's All About the Job Interview"

Kenyan man working in Canada cautioned against trusting agents who promise they have jobs abroad.

Steve Safari emphasised that such agents lack the capacity to secure employment for individuals seeking to work in Canada and noted that it is all about the interview To secure a job in Canada, Safari advised that individuals should seek opportunities through companies with Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) certification.

A Kenyan man working in Canada has warned those seeking jobs in the country to be wary of agents promising they have jobs for them. 

"This is something that I have said more than a million times. No person or anyone calling themselves an agent can get a job for you here. You will never find someone, whether in Kenya, Uganda or Tanzania, just waiting to get you a job (in Canada). They ask for money whereas you shouldn't pay any money. So be warned because anyone calling themselves an agent should not lie to you," said Safari.

How to get a job in Canada The TikToker, who shares insights on working abroad, particularly in Canada, explained that only certified companies in Canada can hire workers from outside. He noted that the most common way to hire workers from outside Canada is through the government of Canada's Job Bank, which has a section for jobs available for foreigners. "The only one who can give you a job in Canada is a company certified by the LMIA. 

What is the LMIA certificate for jobs in Canada? As stated by Safari, companies that need to hire foreign workers need to have the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) certification. According to IIRC, the LMIA certification is a document that an employer in Canada may need to get before hiring a foreign worker. A positive LMIA will show that a foreign worker is needed to fill the position and that no Canadian worker or permanent resident is available to do the job. 

Kenyans warned against paying fraudulent agents Safari warned Kenyans not to be lied to by fraudulent agents who ask for money in exchange for jobs in Canada. He warned that even if you are connected directly to an employer and did not apply through the Job Bank website, you should not pay to get the job.
