Winnipeg construction manager faces penalties for immigration violations

The Canada Border Services Agency has concluded legal proceedings against Winnipeg construction site manager Gurwinder Singh Ahluwalia, resulting in a 20-month conditional sentence and a $50,000 fine for violations of immigration employment regulations. Following an investigation that commenced in August 2023, the CBSA identified instances of unauthorized employment practices and worker compensation irregularities at a local construction site. The investigation, which concluded in April 2025, determined that Ahluwalia had improperly engaged foreign nationals without proper work authorization and provided inadequate compensation to authorized workers.
