Temporary foreign workers held as much as 83% of the jobs at a Tim Hortons in Ontario, according to court filings from a franchisee now in insolvency proceedings – well above the 10% limit Ottawa sets on low-wage foreign hiring at a single work location.

Ventures Inc.— telling the Ontario Superior Court of Justice that federal restrictions on the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) had shrunk its foreign workforce, according to Juno News, citing Blacklock’s Reporter.
