    I think it’s worthwhile to read the article. There’s mention of LMIAs, immigration consultants, etc.

    These are people that were taken advantage of by shady consultants and bad employers. They weren’t of proper legal status for a reason.

    However, Padilla Ruiz’s labour market impact assessment — a document an employer often needs before hiring a foreign worker — listed him as a “housekeeping attendant” at a different Western Star hotel in Esterhazy, Sask.

        I think it’s worthwhile to catch up to the many years of reporting and documentation on this topic:

        https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-life-in-the-shadows-inside-the-world-of-torontos-undocumented-migrants/

        Toronto’s undocumented migrants – most of whom initially entered the country legally – grapple with substandard employment

        https://amnesty.ca/temporary-foreign-workers-report/

        Exploitation, discrimination and abuse are integral features, not bugs, of the Temporary Foreign Worker program

        https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/migrant-workers-rescued-york-toronto-1.6767167

        A single foreign worker blew the lid off a massive international trafficking ring north of Toronto, police say

        https://ijb.utoronto.ca/news/this-is-the-new-slavery-migrant-farm-workers-underpaid-abused-and-injured/

        'This is the new slavery’: Migrant farm workers underpaid, abused and injured

        nearly 80,000 migrants worked in agricultural jobs under Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program

                I’m sorry, your answer was not in the form of a question. No points.
