Hmm... Is it not better to seek an agency which is Canadian, which has offices only in Canada, and which operates all around the world by means of modern communication such as mail, fax, phones, etc?

When I said the above, obviously I talked about Canada. Samjhana was talking about Canada.

A foreign worker is a foreign worker. Are those who are legally in Canada as students, workers, exempt from charges made by recruiting agencies? May those who are outside Canada and trying to come to Canada as foreign workers be legally charged by recruiting agencies? That's strange! I haven't...
