Hi ,
Recently a new immigrant i know went to a company called "Source security" for some advertised security positions.
He was told they conduct 1 week training and charge 200$ for a security license and then send u on positions for 14$ per hr.
Sounds a bit phony to me..
Any body have such experience or know of this company please share..
Thanks
The Dude

What kind of license they issue? Is it for physical security(Security Guard) or online security? I don't know about physical secirity but online security cerifications cost a lot. CISSP costs $500 and one should have at least 4 years of experience in IT security to qualify for taking the test.

SANS-GIAC security certification too cost $500. Different certifications have different requirements. Check it out at:

CISA costs US $375 for ISACA members and US $505 for Nonmembers. Details at:

I would recommend to beware of such agencies.
Someone i know had paid the fees and also for uniform and is still waiting to hear from them after 8-9 months.
I mean physical security...

The way this friend of mine was talked to, to me it seemed like a scam.. but he was conviced that they are for real.
The deal was similar.. training for license and uniform..
If it was that easy to get a security position paying 14$ an hour, i am sure immigrants would make a beeline there instead of Tims, McDees and other places.
I am now convinced it is a scam..

I saw recently saw an ad for Securitas.ca who are looking for security guards in Kitchener-Waterloo region. They provide the training. No need to pay the fees.

Kitchner , waterloo would be too far for him to even apply/appear for interview. They are located in Bramptonistan..
The person just showed me the card and the card looked totally phony...
