No. Paying anyone for a job offer or an LMIA is illegal in Canada — recruiters cannot legally charge workers for placing them in jobs, and employers must cover all LMIA costs themselves. Anyone selling a "guaranteed job" is either lying or committing fraud, and victims often lose thousands of dollars and sometimes their immigration status. Legitimate services — resume writing, interview coaching, job-search support — charge for professional help and never promise outcomes, because no honest service can guarantee a job.
