Six foreign workers have been arrested by Canadian Border Services Agency officials after an investigation at a Kingsville farm.

CBSA spokesperson Jean D'Amelio-Swyer says inland enforcement officers in Windsor conducted an investigation regarding unauthorized workers at the farm.

She says all individuals are being processed in accordance with Canadian immigration laws.

The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act requires all foreign workers to have authorization to work in Canada.

The CBSA says any foreign national working illegally in Canada may face criminal charges and may be ordered to leave. The companies that hire illegal foreign workers may also face criminal charges.
