The agency still needs to be licensed to work in Alberta. If they are not, they are not allowed to place people there. They are still not allowed to charge people for placing them in Alberta. There was an agency in Ontario that was closed down a couple of years ago after they were found to have placed a lot of people in AB without being licensed in AB and they were charging them a lot too.
The agency can charge other fees, for example for helping people write CV's but actually the agencies are getting a lot of money from the employers. They don't need to charge the employees too. The place I was working for was paying an agency $2600 per worker to process their paperwork etc.
