Patternhouse Interior Design and Renovation Inc. (210A–8131 Yonge Street, Thornhill, ON, L3T 2C6) Found Non-Compliant with TFW Program - Fined $10000 CAD
-
Patternhouse Interior Design and Renovation Inc., located at 210A–8131 Yonge Street, Thornhill, ON, L3T 2C6, was found non-compliant with Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program regulations following an official government inspection, resulting in a $10,000 CAD penalty on December 15, 2025. The violations included Code 6, where the employer failed to provide the inspector with requested documents as required under provision 209.4(1)(b), and Code 15, where the employer was not actively engaged in the business for which the foreign national was hired, breaching provisions 209.2(1)(a)(i) or 209.3(1)(a)(i) (excluding live-in caregivers). The company remains eligible for the program with no ban imposed. These infractions undermine worker protections by obstructing oversight and allowing misuse of the TFW program, which is designed to fill genuine labour shortages while safeguarding vulnerable foreign nationals from exploitation. This enforcement action demonstrates the federal government's commitment to upholding program integrity.
