This was true before Confederation, when Canadian families used Indigenous and Black women as slaves.

In recent years the Canadian state has created a series of labour policies that both ease the entry of temporary workers to the country and impose on them a distinct set of laws governing working conditions, applications for status, the right to unionize, and job security. Together this dual system of labour regulation has been described as a form of status-based “labour apartheid.” While differences exist in how migrant workers are disciplined and regulated by the Canadian state, the ways in which workers have tried to organize follow similar patterns and face similar challenges. This roundtable includes organizers who have worked with either migrant domestic workers or farm workers. By their accounts, the challenges involved in developing migrant worker movements led by the workers themselves have been significant. The reality is that the conditions imposed on migrant workers by the Canadian government and employers make it extremely difficult for them to organize themselves without the initiative and continuing support of allies. The participants in this roundtable discuss these conditions and the challenges to be met. Evelyn Calugay and Tess Tesalona have worked with PINAY, the first Filipina women’s organization in Québec. Founded in 1991 by a social worker, PINAY focuses on the issues faced by domestic workers, both nationally and internationally, and is a member of Migrante International. Evelyn is the chairperson of PINAY. Tess is an organizer with PINAY, and a former coordinator of the Immigrant Worker’s Centre in Montréal. Adriana Paz, Aylwin Lo, and Chris Ramsaroop work with Justicia for Migrant Workers (J4MW), a grassroots collective based in Toronto and Vancouver. J4MW was established in 2002, following a series of investigative missions by activists to farming communities in Ontario. It supports the rights of seasonal Caribbean and Mexican migrant workers who work under the federal government’s Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program (SAWP). Adriana is based in Vancouver. Aylwin and Chris are based in Toronto.

Il s'agit d'un programme d'immigration du gouvernement canadien drainant plusieurs femmes de pays sous-développés et majoritairement des Philippines. Celles-ci ont la possibilité d'obtenir le statut d'immigrante reçue après avoir travaillé 24 mois comme aide familialerésidante dans une période de 3 ans. Selon l'article, il s'agit d'une ségrégation des femmes philippines comme main-d'oeuvre bon marché contribuant au cycle de pauvreté de la communauté philippine au Canada. Le programme devient de plus en plus régressif et exploitant avec la mondialisation corporative.

Unpublished data from Employment & Immigration Canada indicate that Fs represent 40% of the workers granted Employment Authorizations between 1979 & 1985 & that they predominate in the labor component of the temporary worker flow. Sex & type of employment authorizations intersect to create important distinctions among temporary workers & univariate tabulations oversimplify the Canadian Employment Authorization program's current situation. Recent studies which argue for sex-specific analysis of migration flows are supported. 6 Tables, 28 References.
