Companies charged with misrepresentation, failing to provide necessary documents
Ontario has fined a Toronto temporary help agency and a Brampton immigration company a combined $60,000 following convictions for failing to produce employment records and misrepresenting information in an immigration application.
Both matters were concluded in the Provincial Offences Court in Toronto on Feb. 27, 2026, according to the Ontario government.
In each case, the court also imposed a 25 per cent victim fine surcharge as required by the Provincial Offences Act, with the Ontario government stating that the surcharge is credited to a special provincial fund to assist victims of crime.
In the first case, 1000466616 Ontario Inc. – a licensed temporary help agency operating at 804‑2940 Jane Street in Toronto – and its director, Che Sang Duong, were convicted for failing to comply with statutory demands for records issued by an employment standards officer.
The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development said the defendants “failed to produce records demanded by an employment standards officer contrary to section 91(8) of the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA), constituting offences under section 132 of the Act.”
