Overview
- CBSA conducted an Immigration and Refugee Protection Act workplace investigation at the downtown construction site on Wednesday after receiving a tip.
- Officers identified four individuals without immigration status who were directed to report to a CBSA office this week.
- Calgary police were present to support safety but did not verify anyone’s immigration status, according to the service.
- CBSA says workplace inspections are infrequent—about five to six per year—and the visit caused a 30‑minute disruption.
- Mayor Jyoti Gondek sought details on supports for the workers as union leaders describe undocumented labour on Alberta projects as widespread, and the prime contractor did not respond to media requests.
