Migrant Workers Issues

Canada has made a policy shift to promoting temporary migration rather than permanent migration. This means that Canada is bringing in more and more workers on only a temporary basis, with fewer rights, limited access to services, and no access to federally-funded settlement services. Migrant workers are particularly vulnerable since there is no systematic monitoring to ensure their rights are protected. Kamaljit Lehal and Juliana Dalley chat with Harjinder Thind and RedFM listeners about issues that migrant workers face.
