The owners of an Alberta gas station were fined $36,000 on Monday after admitting they had illegally hired foreign workers.
Yoo and Yoo Enterprises Ltd. pleaded guilty in Edmonton's provincial court to four offences under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act relating to employing a foreign national in a capacity in which they were not authorized to be employed.
In exchange for the guilty plea -- which encompassed nine Filipino workers -- charges against Soon Sang Yoo and his son, Hyun Suk Yoo, were withdrawn, as well as other charges against the company.
