Federal government announces crackdown on temporary foreign worker program misuse

Canadian Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault announced Tuesday that the government is cracking down on Canada’s temporary foreign worker program in a bid to curb fraud.

The temporary foreign worker (TFW) program has ballooned over the years, with much higher use by non-agricultural sectors, such as fast food restaurants and health care providers. With the increased use, there have been mounting allegations that the program is being misused by some employers.
