One thing I dislike/d about the TFW program in Canada was the exploitation of the foreign workers it created. That and it was at least not in Alberta used for bringing in skilled workers, but filling opening at fast food establishment

This however was not something I would have expected

 
Definitely a disturbing story.
Here, there are agricultural workers that arrive in spring - their conditions are not great but better than these folks.
 
There were numerous cases involving foreign nannies/domestic workers. Recently, workers in a temple.

Looks like mistreatment of foreign workers is not uncommon.

Checking out google, most of the perpetrators are also from other countries (originally).



It's not the first case in Alberta.
