She was forced to work for one franchisee only so her option was to transfer within a few locations within Calgary only. She explained to me at the time that most of her fellow TFWs were told basically anything so they would sign a contract. And this was 12+ years ago. Just absolutely shady business practices from Canada's formerly beloved chain.
Anyway, recently the media and outlets like (Ezra Levant's) Rebel News have exposed how Tim Hortons has abused the temporary foreign worker program right at the same time that Dunkin Donuts is coming back to Canada and claimed unlike Tim's that they will actually prioritize hiring Canadian workers for their future stores.
This is happening as unemployment and youth unemployment in Canada overall is rising.
Lo and behold just days after Tim Hortons TFW reporting I've seen Tim Hortons job ads on YouTube  |
Rather than blame the company for taking advantage of a legal program, one might better direct one's complaint to those who made it legal ...
