Tim Hortons: Canadian Employers

Tim Hortons Dept: Instead, the 21-year-old from Mexico says he found himself walking to work in the snow and living in a basement with five other Mexican men, according to CBC. As more and more Canadian employers, ranging from fast-food outlets to skilled trades, turn to temporary foreign workers like Flores, questions are being raised over who is making sure the immigrants are treated fairly while they're in the country and erik Flores came to Canada full of optimism that his new job at a Tim Hortons franchise near Regina would open doors to a "beautiful life." The job at Tim Hortons didn't work out, and today he is waiting for a work permit under Saskatchewan's provincial nominee program. The whole experience, he says, left him feeling used and exploited.
