Polish welders in Alberta file suit over contracting Canadian Press
EDMONTON -- A group of 30 Polish welders has filed a civil lawsuit alleging they were brought to work in Canada under false pretences.
The suit names Lloydminster's Lakeland College, three individuals and Kihew Energy Services Ltd.
The suit says the men believed they were being hired by Kihew to work in Alberta as full-time welders, not full-time students as their visas said.
They claim that once they got here, they received inadequate pay for their work.
They say they earned $10 to $12 an hour while four companies contracted with Kihew paid up to $28 an hour for their services.
None of the allegations included in the statement of claim has been proved in court and none of the defendants has filed a statement of defence.
The court action comes one month after Alberta's Auditor-General raised questions around Lakeland College's involvement in the program, where the college collected more than $200,000 in tuition fees from Kihew to educate students who attended virtually no classes.
Auditor-General Fred Dunn said in his report on Lakeland's contracting practices that the former general manager and three people who reported to him also failed to follow the college's policy about who can issue letters to Citizenship and Immigration Canada verifying international student registration.
As many as 158 letters were sent to the federal agency.
The RCMP's immigration and passport section continues to investigate the issue, Corporal Wayne Oakes said.
