The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has recently escalated its efforts to combat unauthorized employment across multiple provinces. Reports indicate a surge in raids and spot checks targeting individuals working illegally in the country. This heightened enforcement, ensuring compliance with the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, marks a significant shift from Canada’s previously perceived leniency. Recent incidents include the interception of construction workers in Alberta and the apprehension of truck drivers operating without proper permits. These actions reflect the government’s commitment to addressing the estimated 500,000 to 1 million undocumented workers currently in Canada, aligning with broader immigration policy reforms.
