The owner of an Etobicoke-based Canadian Tire store has been fined $111,000 by the federal government for violating the guidelines of Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program.

Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), the federal ministry that runs the TFW program, found branch owner Ezhil Natarajan in violation of two guidelines: that wages, work conditions or the job did not match what was listed in offers of employment and that employees were assigned to work different roles than what they were hired for.

The violations were reported on a public database that lists employers' compliance with the TFW program, which listed Natarajan's company, Geethaezhil Inc., as "ineligible" for the program due to an unpaid fine.
