As a newcomer / landed immigrant to Canada, I found that wasn't easy to find a job. After sending my resumes and made contact from employment agencies to companies in Canada, I met Bernard Haldane Associates through the newspaper.
We met and talked about many opportunities regarding how to find a job in Canada with my education and skills background (civil engineeer). Mr Dale Smith
(representative of Bernard Haldane Associates) told me that they have a career development program which can help me to find job in the hidden market (unadvertise job). And he guaranteed that within three months, a person with my background education and skills will not have any difficulties to find a job with the salary above $60, 000 annum.
One way to help me finding this hidden job is through networking and connection with their client. When I asked Mr Smith, whether they had been working with immigrant and had civil engineer background; which I hope can be my network referral; he answer yes.
From my point of view and through his well establish company and also. Known Worldwide and give his assurance with Career Assessment and Analysis on my skill and educational background, Mr Dale Smith, promise to provide me with the the networking and contact information.
Having said that I, agreed to signed a contract of Professional Career Development Services which cost me C$. 5.350.00 (Five thousand three Hundred and fifty Canadian Dollars), that's more than half of my saving that I brought to Canada. After eight months joining them, I still could not find job, no contact information, no networking from them and don't know how to get my money back. It's been a frustating to think about it, I really hope no one will ever had to go through what I had been through.
I'm really disappointed and feel that I already been ripped off by them with this services.
