Tim Hortons announced that it will reduce its reliance on the federal Temporary Foreign Worker Program to hire staff, with plans to recruit 10,000 local workers as it expands and opens new restaurants across Canada.
The Canadian coffee giant said in a statement Monday that during the pandemic, while there were “acute labour shortages,” it encouraged the federal government to increase access to the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program, and “lobbied them to maintain greater access when they announced plans to limit applications.”
