Due to the high unemployment rate in Calgary, AB a LMIA cannot be filed under $37.50 per hour.

Duties:

Prepare patients for dental examinations

Prepare plaster models and moulds

Prepare dental instruments and filling materials

Perform reception and clerical duties

Sterilize and maintain instruments and equipment

Invoice patients for dental services

This requires a provincial registration as a dental assistant, a college level diploma and 2-3 years of experience.

I did a cursory look on Indeed and found that this job pays significantly higher than the other dental clinics in Calgary, but none of these other companies appear to be filing for LMIAs claiming that they can't find a Canadian or PR to work in the city of over one million people.

Interestingly, if the employer filed at a rate below $37.50 per hour they would not be able to file a LMIA because of the high unemployment rate.

The business appears to have three legal names B4U Construction, B4U 13 Construction and B4U Electrical

I have attached the LMIA history of B4U Construction and B4U 13 Construction showing extensive use of the LMIA system.

The employer is in construction so would be able to file a LMIA under the Low-Wage Stream but the wage offered is the exact wage needed to qualify for the High-Wage Stream. They would be subject to a 20% cap of employees being on Low-Wage LMIAs and it looks like most if not all employees are TFWs.

The wage is interesting because the median wage to qualify for the High-Wage Stream in Manitoba is $30.16 per hour. Since the wage offered is slightly above that the LMIA is not subject to a refusal to process when the unemployment rate in Winnipeg is above 6%.

I looked on the corporate careers site and did not find the position listed. I found a post on LinkedIn about it but it said that they are no longer accepting applicants.

A look at Indeed showed no signs of the job posting but another location in Winnipeg had similar roles listed with a wage offer of $19 to $22 per hour.

I have posted a lot of information on businesses that have filed for LMIAs using public information like the Job Bank postings. The purpose of this is to shed light on usage of the program and I have a particular interest in businesses that post ads for jobs that would typically be low-wage but they post it at or slightly above the median wage to qualify for the High-Wage Stream of the program.

I am not trying to accuse anyone of wrongdoing as I have not got their side of the story to draw a strong conclusion and I am not an investigator and have no association with the program or the government. I'm just a private citizen with a bit of a weird interest in looking into this. I am in no way encouraging anyone to harass or intimidate people that may be involved with the businesses. I strongly discourage anyone from doing anything that could be considered illegal or threatening.

That being said, if you feel that something is amiss you have the right to report the listing to Job Bank and the TFW Program for potential misuse. I encourage people to apply to jobs they are qualified for and interested in. You and I have the right to talk about these postings as they are public and posted on a federal government website. There is no expectation that the business owner can keep this information private and keep us from talking about it because it embarrasses them. If you want to reach out to the owner in a non-harassing threatening way and politely share your concerns or stop patronizing the businesses that is completely up to you. I am not encouraging you to do that but you are free to make your own decisions.

You are free to use anything I have posted without giving me credit. This is not to encourage you to harass anyone, but that I don't mind you taking your information for your own purposes since most of it is public information except the words I wrote. If you have any problems or criticism with me you are free to share it. I will never delete any comments or posts criticizing me. You can DM me them as well and I will try to explain my position or come to some sort of agreement.

Several weeks ago I posted a Job Bank posting that the owner showed up in the comments and explained his views. I thought he was lying about the reason that he listed the job at the exact median wage, but he was very polite and cooperative that I deleted his post even though he never asked me to just out of respect for his courage to come and answer questions from the public about it. If you would like to get a post removed, you can try asking nicely.

Previously this location which appears to be owned by a company called Patel Foods hired a Bookkeeper in 2022 likely through the LMIA program because it was posted on one of the bogus sites used for that program. They also posted an advertisement for a HR Specialist paid $39 per hour in 2026.

Also found on Job Bank is a posting for a Food Counter Attendant for this same location where it states that you can apply in-person in a different town but not at the restraurant itself. No LMIA has been filed for this as of August 6.

While I am confused why a Subway needs an Administrative Manager with the duties mentioned, I am also confused at how much profit this Subway makes to afford all these positions and have a full-time Bookkeeper and HR member on staff. I have been completely misled about how much cash Subways must make.
