So my mom was telling me there is a company in company that hires people from Europe to come and work on high-rise windows and pays them legally.

This is pretty much the only info that I have and that you need to be 35years or younger to do it..


Anyone have any more information on this?

I'm not sure what you are asking.
There are lots of companies that do high-rise window cleaning, and I'm sure they hire people from all over the world. It's not the sort of thing you get just any asshole to do. The safety procedures are pretty specific.

I have no specific information about Calgary window cleaners, but as far as foreign workers being paid legally, all that means is that they are paid more than minimum wage. The exterior painters my company uses pays temporary workers $12/hr to go on bosun chairs. Perfectly legal, but not something I (or most death-fearing people) would be doing for less than $50/hr, hence temporary workers

Maybe union companies actually pay wages comparable to the dangers involved, but a general rule of thumb is that if a company is using imported labour, you probably don't want to work for them
