Some of you may have seen more attention around job postings on JobBank offering seemingly great wages, yet applying for LMIA&#8217;s due to no suitable local candidates. This post is simply meant to expose what appear to be obvious scams in Saskatoon, so please don&#8217;t let it devolve into derogatory racial or immigration issues. This is about the exploitation of both immigrants and the Canadian working class.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at Saskatoon on <a href=\"http:\/\/lmiamap.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">lmiamap.org<\/a>, which is a webmap that takes data from JobBank showing businesses that have been approved for LMIA permits, you can see business that have been granted LMIA&#8217;s to hire temporary foreign workers. A permit given &#8220;<strong<em>>only if no suitable Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to fill the position. The process is designed to ensure that Canadian workers are considered first for available jobs<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For example, in 2024 <strong>Road Rex Trucking Inc<\/strong>. was granted 5 LMIA permits. When you search Road Rex Trucking Inc., their company address is <strong>2002 Quebec Ave<\/strong>, which is a small generic office building home to the likes of the famous MLM &#8220;World Financial Group&#8221;. Oddly enough, from one angle on Google Street View the building is blurred, which means someone has specifically reached out to Google and requested it be blurred for privacy.<\/p>\n<p>When you look at their website, <a href=\"https:\/\/roadrextrucking.com\/team-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/roadrextrucking.com\/team-2\/<\/a>, their &#8220;Team&#8221; has very generic, obviously stock photos with names that, on the surface, don&#8217;t seem to match.<\/p>\n<p>Oddly, the website makes no mention of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ised-isde.canada.ca\/cc\/lgcy\/fdrlCrpDtls.html?lang=eng&#038;corpId=14136241\" target=\"_blank\">sole registered director<\/a> of Road Rex Trucking Inc, <strong>Jaspreet Singh Dhaliwal<\/strong>. There is only one result for that name in Saskatoon, and here is his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jaspreet.singh.27141\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Facebook account, flexing in front of fancy cars and on vacations<\/strong><\/a>. Some of his pictures appear to match the buildings in the Saskatoon neighborhood of Road Rex Trucking Inc&#8217;s corporate registered address.<\/p>\n<p>When you Google the name of their founder, <strong>Alaxis. D. Dowson<\/strong>, there&#8217;s dozens of websites with the <strong><em>exact<\/em><\/strong> same template as Road Rex Trucking Inc, with the same layout and &#8220;team members&#8221;, but for different businesses like electronics, solar panels etc., and listed in all sorts of locations from Edmonton to Dubai. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As they say on the interwebs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/LMIASCAMS\/comments\/1pp4y39\/fake_shell_companies_in_saskatoon\/\" target=\"_blank\">Read the whole thing<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the social media site formerly known as Twitter, Darshan Maharaja links to a detailed Reddit post that reveals some pretty shady stuff operated out of a small office in Saskatoon: The Reddit user, \/u\/SimonBirchDied, says this is the result of only fifteen minutes of investigation: Like countless others, I&#8217;ve grown disheartened and disillusioned with [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[831,6,84],"tags":[194,554,95,753],"class_list":["post-99851","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business","category-cancon","category-government","tag-fraud","tag-immigration","tag-jobs","tag-saskatchewan"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2hpV6-pYv","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99851","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99851"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99851\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":99853,"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99851\/revisions\/99853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99851"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
