As my colleague pointed out, there are various degrees in terms of non-compliance. When there's non-compliance, let's say, around wages, we strongly encourage the employer to correct it and make sure that the temporary foreign workers are paid the amount of money they should be paid, and also to ensure that working conditions such as vacation pay or overtime are paid for as well. When the situation is corrected, we say that they've been compliant with compensation, so they've compensated the worker. It allows the company or the employer to keep their jobs filled with the people that they need to continue to grow their business. It allows the temporary foreign worker to continue to have a job and be able to support himself.
It's not a good news story. We're not bragging about it. It's really trying to maintain the integrity of the program while maintaining the opportunity for the temporary foreign workers to work and for the business to grow.
When we have a case of serious abuse, we would refer them to enforcement authorities. We would make sure that we remove the worker from any employment of abuse. We would work with IRCC to find, potentially, an open permit or some other job for the temporary foreign worker.
