A recent social media post has sparked a debate online over Indians getting preferential treatment during the hiring process over the locals.
An ex-employee at Tim Hortons, a Canadian Fast food chain, alleged that she was fired from her job for speaking up against the discriminatory hiring practices of Indian managers. She claims that they were only hiring Indian immigrants.

This situation comes as Canada tightens immigration rules, which many Indians are affected by. It reflects a broader concern the Indian community faces about competition in foreign job markets.
Many people supported the fired employee online but some users also came out to defend the hiring practices. They argued if Indian immigrants are qualified, they deserve a chance.

Earlier this year, a similar incident caught attention when a long line of Indian applicants was seen outside a Tim Hortons for job interviews. This only adds to worries as people are now calling this a potential hiring bias.
Canada, historically a haven for Indians is slowly becoming more strict towards its immigrants. Amidst this uncertain climate, locals calling out Indians at the workplace is another worrying sign for the community.
