A Tim Hortons manager in Ontario has been dismissed after she allegedly asked a 17-year-old employee to marry her 25-year-old brother so that he could gain permanent residency (PR) in Canada. The manager reportedly offered the teenager between $15,000 and $20,000 to take part in the scheme, which bypassed legal immigration channels.

The case was first revealed by the Toronto Sun, which published screenshots of the messages exchanged between the manager and the teenager.

When the employee enquired about his age, she replied that he was 25 and explained: “My brother. He is looking for gf. He need someone to get permanent residency in Canada. And if you can help him with that he can pay you $15-20k ( ₹ 13–18 lakh) too.
