The class action lawsuit against Mac’s, Overseas, and Trident Immigration Services (which sometimes collected a portion of workers’ fees) is still accepting new class members. Anyone who paid a fee and then accepted a contract to work at a Mac’s store in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, or the Northwest Territories is eligible to join.

The lawsuit claims that Overseas representatives told foreign workers they would get jobs in Canada for their fees under Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker program. The lawsuit claims the fees were illegal and that some class members were not provided employment as promised.

The class action lawsuit has been certified. Daily Hive has reached out to the law firms behind the class action and to Circle K Canada for comment.
