Hi Del

I havent been to any of these - was too far into emigrating before I discovered them but from another forum I am a member of I have heard good things about them.

They usually have someone from CIC London there to answer your immigration questions and also prospective employers to chat with - I know of a couple of Alberta realtors who usually attend too.

The scams that are out there are usually companies who say that for a fee they will get you a job with a TWP - personally from what i have heard stay away from these types of adverts and go to the Emigrate2 shows and apply for jobs on line from the UK as some peeps will telephone interview etc.

As the employer applies for the LMO for you to get a TWP then why should you pay someone to get you a TWP ? When you get hte TWP at the POE then you just have to pay $150

Some people have made really good contacts and some jobs - but there are peeps there who you can talk to face to face and that alone is a bonus.
Good luck
