I found two blurbs for it on the Ripoff Report. You can read them here:
http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff209851.htm
http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff209258.htm
Based on these two testimonies, which are nearly identical, I wouldn't waste your money.

Drinkfinger - Just to let you know I was sucked into this scam but luckily I did receive the book within one week. Kudos to them!!! However, most of the things in the book seem to be regarded as scams so bye, bye $28.95. I call my self "scamjunkie" for that very reason...whatever I have looked for on the Internet so far comes up as a scam when I do my research. It seems we are doomed to forever work hard for our money unless we can come up with our own clever way to make money. I will proceed to use the internet for e-mails and looking for information only, no more get rich schemes for me.

Well I just found them also, but had reservations about them, so I looked around the internet to find out about them. I would say they are a scam!!
They opened in 2006 and their domain expires in 2008. They also use a byproxy server, which hides the identity of who started this company. So that alone is very telling!!
Never ever send money to people until you find out for sure if they are legit or not!!

Well I am brand new to the work at home thing and I am thinking all work at home opportunities are scams. I haven't found a legitimate one yet. I am a single mom that already works a full time job but needs to make more money and can't afford to spend more time away from my daughter. I am at a loss.

I bought "The Canadian Home Job Review and Employment Directory" for whatever the cost was and then sent $38.95 for stuffing envelopes to a Mary Henderson at Choice Mail 919 Centre St. NW Suite 225 Calgary, Alberta T2E 2P6. Well it has been a month now and I have not received anything in the mail to stuff envelopes and my cheque was cashed. I suggest everyone stay away from this address. Unfortunately, I have been scammed! Not very happy.

Has anyone ever physically gone to this Choice place located at 919 Centre St?...
Just want to know if i'm wasting my time... I'm quite furious my cheque was cashed as well and I live in Calgary and was thinking of approaching the company itself.

I do live in Calgary about 4 blocks from the address 919 Centre Street NW and was going to check this address out after work. I did get a book from the Canadian Homeworker Review and picked this particular envelope stuffing ad because they are located in Calgary and I could go check them out. Unfortunately, the first 'job' I picked turns out to be a scam according to bloggers... I will go check this address out and see if the company actually exists... I will let everyone know what I find.

Envelope stuffing is most likely the biggest scam out there.the only info you will ever receive from them is some ad copy for you to use to scam others.Stay away from any work at home JOBS that require upfront fees.If it is not a home based BUSINESS you should not have to pay for a job.

I would like to know what you found out. I also sent my money to Canadian Home Job Review. Sent for Super Saver 40.00 and nothing. Sent 19.00 to canadian Data Processing Net work and nothing. Also my 30.00 for this book. Now Choice is the only one that sent me information and they would like me to sent out 30.00 more dollars. I would like to see what they say to you when you stoped in.

i wish i had read this page before i sent my money, but just curious did anyone take advantage of the money back guarantee? so far i have sent 43 letters to each of the companies listed and after $86 in postage fees as well as the money included in each envelope the only reply has been my own letters with a note from the post office saying that no such addresses exist. i believe that this qualifies me for that so-called money back...i won't hold my breath.

Am I glad I decided to research first before sending money! I also just saw the "amazing" offer (NOT) with CHR (Canadian Homeworker Review) based out of Ottawa, ON. Last time I saw something like this, I was scammed for $35. - didn't like that feeling so thanks for this website and feedback. It's good to know there are still people out there that work together for each other.

Well i had my cheque cashed on the 19th of Sept and I still haven't received any information or booklet as promised. I totally should have checked them out first. I am wondering if there is any way of contacting these people at all..I might consider talking to the Better Business Bureau and see what my options are. I realize there is a buyer beware policy here but I didn't even receive the product in question. If anyone has any more information on trying to stop these people please let me know and I will do whatever to help
Cheers Dave.

Thank you so much for all your information here. I'm a stay-at-home mom right now and very hesitant to join this so called Canadian Homeworker thing. I wonder Metro Newspaper are still posting this ad to their Classified Ads Section. Can somebody tell them this? But then again, being a mom with no job at all is depressing sometimes that can be easily tricked by these scams. Good thing I read this first.. Thanks again guys!

newcomer and scammed.... I read the Canadian Homeworker Review ad on the Montreal free newspaper 'Metro', logged to their web site and sent our 30 bucks, it looked like a scam from the begining but hey it's comming on the newspaper..., can anyone please tell me, since I've been in Canada only for 2 months now, what can we do to stop this, seems like nobody is approaching justice, maybe because of that feeling of being cheated and ridiculed...action is necessary, please someone tell me what to do.
greetings

WOW! am I ever glad I found this site. As much as you know you are going to be ripped off you still think it might be worth a try. I am very sorry for all the people that have sent off money for this Canadian Home Worker Review. I could have been one of them. Now reading your information. The last thing I am going to do is send them money. I have tried to search the address and searched on Canada 411 called the list that comes up for 900 Greenbank Road Suite #415 Ottawa On K2J 4P6 and it's a plaza of very genuine stores and retailers. The only one I have not had a reply from is Nebularis Information Systems. I contacted their sales department as I thought if I was buying something they would reply to me. I have called them four times and no reply.
I then contacted the 'Ministry of Consumer and Business Services' as they state they are resistered with them. They advised me to Google the company and see what comes up. Hear I am, looking at all these stories of scams. I'll go no further now. If only we could stop this from happening. We all want to work and not be ripped off.

Ok so if you got suckered in and paid the FIRST $29.95 just for the stupid envelope with the membership application in it, does that mean they still have your credit card info and can charge stuff to it?? I am really worried now.

We wanted to warn people about Canadian Homeworker Review. We sent $29.95 by credit card to them. They were very quick to deduct that sum from our card but very slow to send the info. But in the meantime we got a call from our card company telling us that there were some unauthorized attempts to use our card number. Thank God that our card company blocked them, and even went as far as to send us a new card. So Caveat emptor!
