Kevin Kielty, was charged with two counts of alleged employment-related offences under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), including employing foreign nationals in a capacity in which the foreign nationals are not authorized, and counselling foreign nationals to work in Canada without authorization.
On March 2, 2026, he pleaded guilty to both counts and was sentenced to two years’ probation, 50 hours of community service and was fined $70,000.
This is the second time that Kielty has faced charges for employment-related offences under the IRPA.
In November 2023, he was sentenced to 18 months of house arrest following a previous investigation by the CBSA.
He got off waaay too easy. Asshole should’ve spent at least a year in jail.
On a second offence I have to agree. He’s made himself an ongoing risk to the community at large at this point.
That seems like a slap on the wrist for slave trading.
After the crap about the TFW program and extending foreign student working hours, it’s hard not to say this is the Canadian way.
