The federal government fined a Brampton Hindu temple $10,000 after it failed to provide documents requested during an immigration compliance review.

Sri Bhuvaneswari Hindu Temple Canada Inc., located at 230 Wilkinson Road, violated federal regulations governing employers participating in the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

According to the Government of Canada’s public registry of non-compliant employers, the temple was found in violation of Section 209.4(1)(b) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations.

The violation relates specifically to documents requested by a federal inspector during a compliance review. The temple did not provide the requested documents, according to the government record.

The administrative monetary penalty was finalized on Sept. 28, 2026.

The case does not allege in the public record that the temple failed to pay workers properly or violated workplace safety rules. Rather, the penalty is tied to the organization’s failure to provide information requested during the federal review.

The temple’s status on the federal registry is currently listed as “Eligible.” That means the organization has been found non-compliant and fined, but it has not been banned from participating in the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. It remains eligible to seek Labour Market Impact Assessments and hire foreign workers under the program.

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program allows Canadian employers to hire foreign nationals in situations where they cannot find suitable Canadian citizens or permanent residents to fill available positions.

Employers using the program are subject to federal compliance requirements and can face penalties when they fail to meet those requirements.
