Why Tim Hortons Is Pulling Back on Temporary Foreign Workers

Loading player...
Tim Hortons says it will scale back its use of the Temporary Foreign Worker program and hire up to 10,000 local workers as it expands across Canada, a significant shift from its previous support for expanding the program.

To help us understand what this means and why it's happening now, Evan is joined by Canadian immigration lawyer and founder of Holthe Immigration Law, Mark Holthe.
