Saskatchewan employer, trucking firm face immigration act charges

A Saskatchewan employer is facing charges under immigration legislation for allegedly making false or misleading statements.

According to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Immigration and Career Training, Jorawar Singh and JD Trucking Ltd. are both charged “with making or signing any false statements or providing any false, misleading or inaccurate information,” as prohibited under the Immigration Services Act.

The ministry said the act is designed to protect immigrants and foreign workers from the unique situations they may face.

The alleged offences occurred around April 9, 2026 in the Regina area, though the ministry did not share details of what allegedly happened.

Singh and the trucking company first appeared in provincial court in Regina on Sept. 2, but the case has now been adjourned until Sept. 28.

The ministry reminded foreign workers and new Canadians to contact the government’s Program Compliance Branch if they think their rights have been violated. All information is kept confidential and no permission is required to contact the branch, the government noted.

Similar cases

Charges under Saskatchewan’s immigration legislation have made headlines multiple times already this year, including several similar cases.

In August, a Moose Jaw employer was fined $5,000 and ordered to pay $12,000 in restitution after charging a foreign worker to keep his job.

Dyan Jeny Enterprises pleaded guilty to charging Parth Patel an employment-related fee during his time as a foreign worker at Guac Mexi Grill in Moose Jaw. Patel made three $4,000 payments to the business to avoid jeopardizing his employment status.

Earlier, in July, a Saskatoon man was handed a conditional sentence after admitting he had counselled foreigners to misrepresent their employment details on immigration applications.

A Canada Border Services Agency investigation found that Balvir Singh “falsified pay stubs, offers of employment and other supporting documents related to non-existent employment in Canada.” The agency also learned Singh was charging foreign nationals as much as $40,000 for immigration sponsorship.

In March of this year, an unlicensed immigration consultant was ordered to pay $96,000 to compensate a victim.

The Ministry of Immigration and Career Training said Yan Wang was collecting payments for immigration services. But Wang didn’t “submit any documents on the client’s behalf to the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program and provided the victim with falsified documentation.”

According to the ministry, it issued the compensation order because the victim suffered financial losses.
