Three Ontario businesses have been fined after a joint investigation between the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) identified more than 700 illegal workers who did not have permission to be in Canada.

The businesses—CDA Landscape Services, TDA Landscape Services, and SDA Services—pleaded guilty to hiring foreign nationals without authorization on Feb. 28, according to an April 4 Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) news release.
