Federal Court of Appeal Rules that Career Management Firm Misled Vulnerable Job Seekers
OTTAWA, October 16, 2009 — The Federal Court of Appeal has granted the Competition Bureau's appeal, finding that a Vancouver-based career management company misled the public, and violated the Competition Act, in order to sell its job placement services.
Past court decisions have ruled that companies contravene the Competition Act when marketing their products if they make misleading statements to a group of consumers, all at one time. The appeal court's decision confirms the Bureau's position that the law also prohibits companies from making misleading statements to a number of individual consumers, one at a time.
The court found that Premier Career Management Group (PCMG) and its president, Minto Roy, convinced clients to pay $5, 000 to $7, 000 each, by misleading them to believe that the company would:
use its extensive network of links to senior-level executives to provide contacts and arrange job interviews; and
find jobs quickly for clients, typically within 90 days, with salary and benefits equal to or better than previous jobs.
This ruling overturns a July 2008 decision of the Competition Tribunal that denied the Bureau's application to stop PCMG's misleading conduct, which had targeted vulnerable job seekers. The Federal Court of Appeal further directs the Tribunal to determine an appropriate remedy against PCMG and Mr. Roy.
The Competition Act was recently amended to further clarify how businesses, in marketing their products, must provide information to the public that is not false or misleading to promote competitive prices and product choices for all consumers.
The Competition Bureau is an independent law enforcement agency that contributes to the prosperity of Canadians by protecting and promoting competitive markets and enabling informed consumer choice.

I think truth 2 should be banned for his inability to play well with others and general douchery. Also, I suspect he's gay.

Chowderhed, I am not even going to dignify your worthless comment with a response. Those who see all this know exactly who you are, you really do not need to spend your energy and your time to prove it to others what you are made of, they can see it for themselves.
Hope you come to your senses one day!

Employment scam - Toronto Pathways
I remember that vile name calling used to happen in elementary school, especially by the playground bullies. Hilarious. It won't change the truth and the reality of the situation that innocent people are being tricked and deceived by Toronto Pathways. If everyone was on the side of the Truth then the world would be a much better place.
Also, the article that has been called "stupid" is an actual case decided by the Federal Court of Appeal that almost exactly matches this case! I wouldn't be surprised if this company has connections to the one mentioned in the article I posted. "Misleading Statements" in this case are verbal! If you're going to make statements to sell a service you'd better stand behind those statements or refund the astronomical fee you charge your clients.
Justice will prevail. Interesting developments are underway.

"that almost exactly matches this case!"
Almost doesn't count...
"I wouldn't be surprised if this company has connections to the one mentioned in the article I posted. "
I have a wide selection of tin-foil hats that you may be interested in.
"If you're going to make statements to sell a service you'd better stand behind those statements or refund the astronomical fee you charge your clients. "
They stand behind the written agreement that the buyer reads and signs.

When I said "almost" I meant the company name is different - minor things. We will see in court whether it makes an impact.
Also misleading statements made to trick people into a contract is fraud.
Your Mom Knows Best - Do you work for Toronto Pathways or are you an agent paid to try and discredit valid claims on this site?
Just wondering why you support them so vehemently.

Nope.

Obviously you do not know how to read. If you did you would realize that he lives in the US, therefore how can he work for Toronto Pathways. The reason you did not get the job is because you don't have the basic reading and research skills of a fifth grader. You jump to conclusions.

It is amazing that the number of the members in the gang trying to discredit legitimate comments and complaints here is increasing. Tasha4, you and "Your Mom Knows Best" are buddies otherwise how do you know he lives in US and how did you find out it is "he" not "she"!?? Nevertheless, you both are a disgrace to to this site, but pretty soon you will learn what you stand for is NOTHING but nonsense. Grow up!
By the way you will be informed of the court date, bring your sorry ass there and help find the truth if you are after it! I think NOT!

Well for someone who has two university degrees you sure don't act it. Only a child of four would assume that because one is not defending the OP and defending the company works for the company. It is like me claiming the OP only posted this because they are lying because they got fired.

Toronto Pathways is a stupid scam
I too received a call today. I asked them questions such as where did you get my resume. I did not send them anything. They said their specialist found me on the web. She was really pushing for me to go tomorrow, I agreed to next week. I knew I was going to do some research on these folks right out of the gate. I asked what position is it that I would be suited for. She said that the director would tell me once I get here. Recruiters work for company's, not people looking for work! I don't trust Toronto Pathways with a 10 foot pole.
