Agencies are required and must have a license , BIR, SEC and DTI Registration From POEA.

"So pumasok ako doon sabi ko illegal recruitment ito. Di ko alam kung tinablan sila pero ibibigay ko sa Anti-illegal  Recruitment branch yung information na yun para maimbistigahan itong Canada immigration Facebook page. Naniningil pa ng halaga ng pera," he said.
