Two main bodies conduct compliance verification audits in this realm: Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). ESDC primarily focuses on employers participating in the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), while IRCC oversees employers entering the International Mobility Program (IMP).

Each organization has established rigorous audit procedures to confirm employers’ adherence to program requirements and regulations.

Penalties for Non-Compliance in ESDC and IRCC Audits
Non-compliance in the audits conducted by ESDC and IRCC can result in substantial penalties for employers.
Financial penalties for violations can range from $500 to $100,000 per violation, with the total amount not exceeding $1 million in a one-year period. The severity of the penalty is often contingent upon the nature and frequency of the non-compliance.
In addition to financial repercussions, employers may face bans from participating in the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) and the International Mobility Program (IMP), further hampering their ability to recruit international talent.
Extreme cases of non-compliance might also lead to the public listing of the employer's name on government websites, tarnishing their reputation and serving as a powerful deterrent for potential violations by other employers.

To avoid these stringent penalties, it is imperative for employers to meticulously adhere to program requirements, maintain accurate and comprehensive records, and remain abreast of the ever-changing regulatory landscape.

Our experienced consultant at Immigration Gateway can significantly assist employers in navigating these audits successfully, ensuring that they meet compliance and pass the audits seamlessly.
