The woman faces five charges for allegedly hiring employees who were not legally allowed to work for her in Canada. The workers were only authorized to be in Canada as visitors, as employees of other employers, or else they had overstayed their visas, the CBSA said in a statement issued Friday. The charges stem from a five-year CBSA investigation into the illegal employment of foreign workers in the Edmonton area. They are the first criminal charges for human trafficking that Alberta’s CBSA has laid under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. The woman has been accused of hiring the workers as housecleaners in private homes, cleaning, room service, and kitchen staff in local hotels, and to stuff advertisements into newspapers at a local publishing company. She is also accused of organizing one foreign national’s entry into Canada “through means of fraud, deception, threat of force and/or coercion,” the CBSA said. “The CBSA will not tolerate those who abuse the human rights of migrant workers nor the integrity of our immigration laws,” said Kim Scoville, the acting regional director general of the CBSA Prairie Region. Jennilyn Morris is expected to make her first appearance in an Edmonton Provincial court on July 2.
