      Excellent news! The only thing that would make this story even better is if they were Tim Horton’s franchise owners.

      3 months of weekend jail isn’t enough but atleast it’s a start. Stealing 44k should get you more then that

      So not only were they abusing the temporary foreign worker program hiring workers that could have been Canadian they were forcing the workers to cover the labour market impact assessment (LMIA) cost of $1,000 per worker. I guess they realized the power they held over the workers and started fabricating other bogus government fees which is how they ended up collecting tens of thousands of dollars from these poor people. Truly disgusting. Wish they would’ve got a longer sentence. 90 days + probation is a slap on the wrist.

      Incredibly common. I even know a guy who basically had the same thing happen to him. Owner demanded he pay $3/hr of his wage back to the owner in cash. This was on top of the $30,000 the owner demand to even sponsor him.

      My neighbour works in a cannabis store, an “immigration consultant” set up the job where the owner declares paying them $37 and hour but actually pays them $15. Then each cheque they give back half their cheque in cash and put it but the business safe in their office. No conversation had outside of the initial one after the job was taken, it’s a bound visa which means they can’t leave the job or their whole family is forced out of Canada.

      They pay taxes on that whole income despite not actually making it and have limited access to healthcare options in some spaces because they’re not permanent residents. I can’t think of a more fucked up situation, the owner and immigration consultant are morally fucking bankrupt. When my neighbour is able to secure a study visa they can leave that job, and if they feel safe I’ll try to help them recover their stolen wages and reporting the business. But I’m not optimistic it’ll be something that gets resolved quickly, plus it’s just one of many businesses doing the same thing.

      90 days served on weekends is a joke.

      Thanks Harper and Kenney for this. They were the ones that started the TFW program that continued under Trudeau.

      What is it someone said about handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500?

      They should be forced to work a shitty job like this for several years
