Violations of Canada’s temporary foreign worker program cost employers more than $6.8 million in penalties

The federal government issued more than $6.8 million in penalties to employers violating the rules of the temporary foreign worker program from January to September 2025, already surpassing the total from 2024’s record-setting year of fines, according to data from Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada.

That is about a 65 per cent increase from the $4.1 million in penalties handed out last year.

From January to the end of September this year, Ottawa levied 214 fines against non-compliant companies, averaging $31,971 per decision, according to the Star’s analysis of the data. That’s up from 155 fines last year, which averaged $26,776 — nearly double the 2023 average of $13,860.


Star propaganda on behalf of the Liberal Party and their corporate cronies. 

The fines are small and treated as the cost of doing business. They are not a deterrent.

Exclusive Tory club delights in the nostalgia of its imported Wog servants

I am told on good authority that this is a typical day at the Albany Club

Exclusive Tory club hires foreign workers under program Pierre Poilievre vows to kill

OTTAWA — Toronto’s Albany Club bills itself as the “premier private club for leaders in Canada’s business and Conservative political spheres,” and offers luxurious suites, brings in Australian Wagyu beef for the dining room and allows members to buy imported wines not available at the LCBO.

But one thing it couldn’t procure last year was Canadian staff.

As unemployment climbs, the promise of a grocery store job lures hundreds … from the 3rd World

The ethnic composition of this job lineup indicates Canada desperately needs more unskilled 3rd World labour.

Not long ago, Casey McLaughlin was executive director of the Yukon Transportation Museum in Whitehorse, but earlier this month she found herself lining up with hundreds of others at a job fair in Ottawa, vying for a coveted position at a new Food Basics grocery store.

“I’m willing to go from being a boss to shelving vegetables because you have to pay the bills,” she said. “It’s really hard to find a job in Ottawa right now.”

Nafisa Ijie also attended the job fair at a hotel in Barrhaven, despite having a master’s degree and experience working as a business analyst in Nigeria and England.

Canada had a shortage of Nigerian business analysts?

Two Ontario colleges face deep cuts as foreign student cap shrinks enrolment, reports show

Two Ontario colleges are facing significant financial hardship if they do not slash costs to cope with weaker foreign student enrolment, according to reports prepared for the Ontario government.

Loyalist College in Belleville and Northern College in Timmins could suffer revenue declines of approximately 60 per cent and 35 per cent, respectively, between 2025 and 2030, according to the reports, which were authored by consulting companies KPMG and Deloitte and obtained by The Globe and Mail.

Alberta to increase provincial control over immigration and cease Carney government’s sinister abuse of Canadian citizens through it’s cheap foreign labour scams

Alberta premier directs minister to increase provincial control over immigration

Premier Danielle Smith is directing the provincial jobs minister to use all legal means possible to give Alberta more control over immigration.

In a new mandate letter given to Jobs, Economy, Trade and Immigration Minister Joseph Schow, Smith says Alberta needs more control over immigration to ensure the province sees sustainable levels of newcomers.

“Our provincial immigration levels and policies should always ensure that Canadian citizens have first access to job opportunities, and that young Canadians are not losing out on employment opportunities to temporary foreign workers,” the letter says.

Canadians fed up being abused with Mass Immigration from incompatible cultures by the Liberal Party and their Corporate Welfare Pals

Popular support for more immigration has cratered. Politicians are taking note

Canada’s large immigrant population has long been regarded as a virtue — but new data suggests popular opinion on adding more newcomers has gone through a seismic shift after years of explosive growth.

For much of the last 25 years, immigration was something of a third rail in Canadian politics, with few elected officials publicly questioning its value. On that issue, too, there’s been a major about-face.

At the Liberal caucus retreat in Edmonton this week, Prime Minister Mark Carney put the immigration system on notice, saying recent levels have not been “sustainable” and a more “focused” approach is required. “It’s clear that we must improve our overall immigration policies,” he said.


Things are pretty bad when even the CBC is made to comment.

More Stupid Shit Andrew Coyne Says

How did the Temporary Foreign Worker program come to be the scapegoat for all our ills?

Did you know that Canada has admitted more than 15 million temporary workers since 2015? Neither did I, until I read it on Twitter (X).

The post includes an “official government of Canada chart.” Sure enough, it shows the numbers admitted under three temporary work programs – not only the Temporary Foreign Worker program, but also the International Mobility Program, as well as study permits, which allow the bearers to work up to 24 hours a week – have grown from about 750,000 as of 2015 to 3.1 million in 2024.


So desperate he’ll cite one tweet made in error to justify his sycophancy to those who have abused Canada and Canadians through a horrid mass immigration scam.

Dougie Ford’s pals luv temporary foreign workers

Ford government declines to say if temporary foreign worker program should end

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says young people aren’t looking “hard enough” for work in the province and suggested unemployed people should consider “fast food” as a potential job choice.

At the same time, the Ford government has declined to take a position on whether the federal government should eliminate the temporary foreign worker program, which other Canadian premiers have suggested is one of the root causes of the country’s employment woes.

Yes, Canada should (mostly) end our temporary foreign worker programs

The Conservatives are right: The Temporary Foreign Worker program mostly should not exist.

But the Conservatives are also missing something: the Temporary Foreign Worker program, or TFW, is only a small part − in fact the smallest part – of Canada’s temporary foreign worker programs.

Is the Temporary Foreign Worker Program Canada’s Next Big Political Wedge?

A fresh Abacus Data poll reveals a nation divided over the fate of Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP).

With 44 percent of Canadians supporting its elimination compared with 30 percent firmly opposed and 18 percent neutral or undecided, the proposal is proving to be more than a policy debate.


The bottom line for me is that Corporate Canada and the LPC cannot be trusted to act in our best interests.

They conspired to flood Canada with unskilled immigrants from incompatible cultures without a thought to the harm this would cause to the social and economic well being of Canadians.

Their greed driven actions created a  vote bloc to harvest and a false boost in GDP for the LPC to brag about while simultaneously providing the leverage necessary for the business class to depress wages and profit from the shortages that resulted.

You and your children can’t find a job? Fck you!

You and your children can’t afford rent never mind a mortgage? Fck you!

You and your children can’t find a doctor? Fck you!

You and your children threatened by migrant crime? Fck you!

Homeless shelters and foodbanks overrun by the LPC’s migrant hordes? Fck you!

And the topper? If you complain you’re a racist. Fck you!

This is the way it is. They do not care about me, they do not care about you. They are not to trusted.

Death to all Tyrants and the TFW.

The Great Replacement is not a conspiracy theory.

‘Generation screwed’: With the dismal youth employment numbers, Poilievre found a wide-open lane and pulled in

Being leader of the opposition is a little like being stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the 401.

You’re boxed in. Options are limited. And any “creative” manoeuvres usually lead to pileups.

So when a lane opens up — a clear stretch of political laneway — you don’t ask questions. You step on the gas.


The Elbow people in voting LPC and NDP destroyed their own children’s future by supporting Corporate Canada’s callous greed and abuse of immigration.

Jamie Sarkonak: The TFW program came for youth jobs. Now Poilievre is coming for it

The “immigrants are taking our jobs” line used to be dismissed as a xenophobic trope, stigmatized in Canadian politics with such intensity that it lulled the population into a decade-plus sleep even as wages stagnated. But it’s turned out to be completely true — and only the Conservatives are coming up with solutions to the problem.

On Wednesday, Pierre Poilievre and immigration critic Michelle Rempel Garner announced their proposal to scrap the temporary foreign worker (TFW) program, which in 2023 authorized nearly 240,000 foreigners to work in Canada. This, we’re told, is only the beginning: Rempel Garner promises that more proposals are in the works.

B.C. premier wants temporary foreign worker program cancelled or reformed

In a surprise statement, Premier David Eby called for the end of Canada’s temporary foreign worker (TFW) program — blaming Ottawa’s flawed immigration policies for filling up homeless shelters and food banks.

“The temporary foreign worker program is not working. It should be cancelled or significantly reformed,” Eby said during an unrelated announcement in Surrey, B.C., Thursday.

“We can’t have an immigration system that fills up our homeless shelters and our food banks. We can’t have an immigration system that outpaces our ability to build schools and housing. And we can’t have an immigration program that results in high youth unemployment.


Doug Ford loves the TFW program. Corporate welfare is the God Given right of the ruling class in Dougie’s world.

Chris Selley: Who’s against Canadian jobs for Canadian kids instead of for foreign workers?

Youth unemployment stands at 14.6 per cent, according to Statistics Canada’s latest release. That’s the highest non-pandemic July figure since 2009 (15.9 per cent), at the nadir of the Great Recession. It makes nothing but good sense that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre would position himself, as he did on Wednesday, foursquare athwart bringing in any more temporary foreign workers to fill positions that certain employers swear blind they cannot fill with younger Canadians at any conceivable price.


The first time abuse of the TFW program made news a way back in 2014 it was discovered that Tim Horton’s actually built imported slaves into their business plan.

Tim Hortons: The Canadian icon Canadians won’t work for

Last week, the CEO of Tim Hortons laid out part of his case for why the chain needs to be able to hire temporary foreign workers. This is what Marc Caira told Bloomberg News: “If you don’t have access to some of the foreign workers where they are required, it will ultimately also impact on the Canadians that work in that area, because we can’t really deliver on the promise that we want in terms of delivering quality service.”

Translation: Let us import these workers, or the double-double gets it.
