Canada fined 26 food firms for TFWP violations, with one $1M penalty and 10-year ban, but no worker compensation.
In late 2025, Canada issued record penalties against 26 food industry employers for Temporary Foreign Worker Program violations, with Bolero Shellfish Processing Inc. fined $1 million and banned for 10 years over wage, housing, and abuse failures.
Most penalties stemmed from administrative lapses, not abuse, and about 70% of fined companies remained eligible to hire more workers.
Despite over $2 million in fines, no compensation goes directly to affected workers, prompting advocacy calls for a trust fund and permanent residency to reduce exploitation.
The TFWP, meant as a temporary fix, has become a permanent part of Canada’s food system, with enforcement criticized as reactive and insufficient.
