I hope they don't get ripped off like the guys from South Africa. Not sure exactly what happened, but the south Africans were saying they only got $30 CDN a day or something, when the company they worked for was making big bucks. It seems that the company was contracted at the going rate for fire fighters in Alberta, but was only paying their workers what they would have been paid in South Africa, a fraction of the Canadian wages. Somebody was feeding at the trough!!!

They will be paid 11.77 per hour. Alberta minimum wage
In South Africa they make 9 per day
I think both numbers are unfair
The Mexicans have been here many times in the past and they take their training in Alberta
