Farm workers may be able to generate increased employer interest in the liability protection provided by workers’ compensation by suing employers for workrelated injuries. Farm worker advocates may also exert political pressure on the government by highlighting how Canadian farm workers have worse access to workers’ compensation coverage than do international migrant workers. It is also possible to challenge the constitutionality of the farm worker exclusion. Finally, farm worker advocates may be able to exert labour market pressure on employers by publicizing working conditions on individual farms via social media.

In About Canada: Immigration, Gogia and Slade challenge these myths with a thorough investigation of the realities of immigrating to Canada. Examining historical immigration policies, the authors note that these policies were always fundamentally racist, favouring whites, unless hard labourers were needed. Although current policies are no longer explicitly racist, they do continue to favour certain kinds of applicants. Many recent immigrants to Canada are highly trained and educated professionals, and yet few of them, contrary to the myth, find work in their area of expertise. Despite the fact that these experts could contribute significantly to Canadian society, deeply ingrained racism, suspicion and fear keep immigrants out of these jobs. On the other hand, Canada also requires construction workers, nannies and agricultural workers — but few immigrants who do this work qualify for citizenship. About Canada: Immigration argues that we need to move beyond the myths and build an immigration policy that meets the needs of Canadian society.

Since the establishment of the EPS ten years ago, Amnesty International has repeatedly raised concerns on how this work scheme directly contributes to human and labour rights violations by severely restricting migrant workers’ ability to change jobs and challenge abusive practices by employers. Similar concerns have also been raised by a number of UN bodies,2 but the South Korean government has consistently failed to implement their recommendations. As a consequence, a significant number of migrant workers continue to be regularly exposed to serious exploitation, which includes excessive working hours, unpaid overtime, denial of rest days and breaks, threats, violence, trafficking and forced labour Following Amnesty International’s previous research on the EPS in 2006 and 2009,3 this report focuses on migrant agricultural workers, who account for some 8% of all EPS workers.4 Agriculture is one of the sectors with the least legal safeguards and, consequently, migrant workers in this sector are at greater risk of exploitation and abuse.

Cela permettra de réduire la confusion et de mettre davantage en évidence les principales différences entre les divers volets. Le PTET sera formé uniquement des volets au titre desquels les travailleurs étrangers pourront entrer au Canada à la demande des employeurs suivant l’approbation de la nouvelle étude d’impact sur le marché du travail (EIMT). Le nouveau Programme de mobilité internationale (PMI) comprendra des volets au titre desquels les travailleurs étrangers ne font pas l’objet d’une EIMT et dont l’objectif principal est de défendre les intérêts économiques et culturels globaux du Canada plutôt que de pourvoir des postes en particulier. Ces nouvelles catégories permettront d’améliorer la reddition de comptes. Emploi et Développement social Canada est le ministère responsable du PTET, et Citoyenneté et Immigration Canada est le ministère responsable du PMI.

En faisant la promotion d’un changement de politique en se basant sur du cas par cas ou sur des situations spécifiques, elle rate une belle occasion de prendre le temps de réfléchir en profondeur afin d’évaluer les impacts de cette politique et d’en voir les effets à long terme. On le sait, plusieurs entreprises se trouvent souvent des arguments faciles pour justifier leurs besoins et faire appel à la main-d’oeuvre étrangère temporaire, souvent moins coûteuse, d’où l’importance de voir clair dans ce dossier miné plus par les opinions que par des analyses rigoureuses.

Statistics on occupations filled between 2004 and 2009 by guestworkers in Canada (Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia) show that some labour shortages addressed by the presence of guestworkers were less acute than others. Moreover, researchers have recently identified that the presence of guestworkers in Canada have or would put a significant downward pressure on the wages and work conditions of certain categories of local workers. This downward pressure has been explained, in particular, by the restrictions on rights and freedoms of certain groups of guestworkers. In order to minimize the negative economic impact of guestworkers programs while maximizing their economic benefits, states need to restructure temporary work regimes as 2-step immigration programs facilitating “just-in-time” integration and circular migration.

N1 - "Between 2002 and 2013, Canada eased the hiring conditions of TFWs several times, supposedly because of a reported labour shortage in some occupations, especially in western Canada. By 2012, the number of employed TFWs was 338,000, up from 101,000 in 2002, yet the unemployment rate remained the same at 7.2 percent. Furthermore, these policy changes occurred even though there was little empirical evidence of shortages in many occupations" (p.1) This statement suggests that TFW are preferred to Canadians since they are less expensive and more docile. "Ideally, a TFW program offers employers access to an indispensable temporary workforce until domestic workers become available. Employers thus should regard foreign workers as available only for a short period, and not attempt to use the program as a way to circumvent the search for and hiring of domestic workers.20 A successful TFW program thus should encourage employers to attract and train domestic workers for jobs that are permanent, possibly with federal government help, so that the labour market exhibits a better balance in the medium term. The current Canadian program, however, still falls short of this goal" (p.22).

Furthermore, these policy changes occurred even though there was little empirical evidence of shortages in many occupations. When controlling for differences across provinces, I find that changes to the TFWP that eased hiring conditions accelerated the rise in unemployment rates in Alberta and British Columbia.

In a CBC news article posted this morning, the CFIB claimed that temporary foreign workers have a better work ethic than their Canadian counterparts. And yesterday, CBC reported that McDonald’s has been bringing in temporary foreign workers to fill new vacancies. At the same time, new research from the Metcalf Foundation points out that migrant worker recruitment is big business – for profit companies are making big money matching migrant workers with precarious jobs. Ontario’s labour market has gone through a dramatic change since the turn of the century. The use of temporary foreign workers in the province is no exception. In 2003, there were about 53,000 temporary foreign workers in Ontario[i]. By 2012, that number had more than doubled to 120,000 – a dramatic increase from 0.9% of the province’s total work force in 2003 to 1.7% in 2012. The number of temporary foreign workers in Toronto alone more than tripled between 2003 and 2012: rising from 19,000 to 64,000. This is not just an urban phenomenon: the number of temporary foreign workers working in non-urban areas in Ontario has seen a 50% increase (from 26,000 in 2003 to 39,000 in 2012).

Recruiters are charging fees as high as $12,000 for jobs that might not exist and seizing workers’ passports, the report, published Tuesday by the Metcalf Foundation, says. Such practices persist among live-in caregivers, who are theoretically protected against these practices by Ontario law, as well as migrant workers, who aren’t protected, in other “lower skill” industries such as agriculture, food processing, and cleaning.

At present, foreign migrant workers comprise as much as 8% of Alberta’s workforce. This paper explores why employers have dramatically increased their use of foreign migrant workers as well as how and why the government has supported employers in this effort. Alberta’s experience with temporary foreign workers (TFWs) suggests that growing reliance on foreign migrant labour appears to disempower both migrant and Canadian workers. Foreign migrant workers have limited ability to realize their rights due to employment precocity and social isolation . Canadian workers face competition from less expensive and more docile foreign migrant workers, thereby heightening the consequences of resisting employer demands . These outcomes are cons istent with the neoliberal prescription for restructuring the labour market, a prescription that Alberta’s oil - boom appears to have accelerated.

Dans l’après-fordisme, la logique de flexibilisation place le travail migrant temporaire au coeur d’une dynamique de précarisation par la centrifugation de l’emploi vers les marchés périphériques du travail. De plus, on observe l’instrumentalisation de cette main-d’oeuvre au rabais, non seulement exploitée, mais, encore, dans une stratégie d’éclatement d’un régime de travail de type universaliste. Mots-clés : précarisation, marchés périphériques du travail, travailleurs migrants, mondialisation, état, flexibilisation Abstract Globalization, work and the casualization of labour : Temporary migrant labour in the drive of employment toward the marginal job markets This article examines three government programs favouring the rapid expansion of migrant labour into the marginal job markets: 1) seasonal migrant farm workers hired in the framework of the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) ; 2) migrant domestic housekeepers hired in the framework of the Live-In Caregiver Program (LCP) ; and 3) so-called “unqualified” temporary migrant workers hired in the framework of the Pilot Project for Occupations Requiring Lower Levels of Formal Training. Given the emphasis placed on flexibility in the post-Fordist era, temporary migrant work epitomizes the drive toward casualization of labour and the pushing of jobs into marginal labour markets. The instrumentalization and exploitation of this type of labour is further compounded and intensified by globalization.

The fourth-largest racialized minority group in the country, the Filipino community is frequently understood by such figures as the victimized nanny, the selfless nurse, and the gangster youth. On one hand, these narratives concentrate attention, in narrow and stereotypical ways, on critical issues. On the other, they render other problems facing Filipino communities invisible. This landmark book, the first wide-ranging edited collection on Filipinos in Canada, explores gender, migration and labour, youth spaces and subjectivities, representation and community resistance to certain representations. Looking at these from the vantage points of anthropology, cultural studies, education, geography, history, information science, literature, political science, sociology, and women and gender studies, Filipinos in Canada provides a strong foundation for future work in this area.

More importantly, the TFWP continues to be a dark, painful and dreary road wrought with abuse, exploitation and utter lack of oversite for tens of thousands of people annually entering Canada. As shocking as it may be for those who deny this reality, primarily governments and employers, parallels have been drawn to the slave trade and indentured servitude of a colonial era many thought had past. Moreover, the number of people in Canada who are unaware of the sometimes sub-human conditions that many migrants are subjected to once in Canada is shocking. As such, this Report is intended to act as an easily accessible vehicle to raise awareness and concern amongst our membership of 250,000, the Canadian public, NGOs, international bodies and organizations, and a variety of governmental jurisdictions across the country. UFCW Canada is in a unique position to provide a reliable and genuine account of the current national situation regarding migrant workers. As the largest private sector union in the country, UFCW Canada annually comes into face-to-face contact with more than 50,000 migrant workers – this is greater than any other organization, NGO, or government (including the federal government) in the country. Moreover, it is estimated that the UFCW Canada has the greatest percentage of its membership of any union in Canada being migrant workers. We know that the need for support for some of the most vulnerable workers in the country is tremendous. For instance, in response to our recent 2010 UFCW Canada funded Scholarship for the Children of Migrant Workers, we received over 4,000 applications within a few short months. In reading this Report you are likely to be appalled by the testimony and information provided. The Canadian ethos has been contentedly dismantled by the Conservative federal government in the name of higher profits for a few. The horrific treatment of migrant workers is a conspicuous symbol of that rupture in our shared humanity. If conditions are to change, they will only do so by continuing to build our movement with community allies and individuals such as you. We ask only one thing. Please speak to your family members, neighbours, friends, co-workers and elected officials about this ongoing catastrophe of extraordinary proportions. Only by raising awareness together will change occur. While our resources are finite, if you are holding an event in support of migrant and immigrant communities, require speakers or other support, please feel free to contact us. Finally, if you require ongoing information on migrant workers and our ongoing regional, national and international campaigns please feel free to visit our webpage at www.ufcw.ca/socialjustice and sign up for the Human Rights, Equity and Diversity (HRED) E-Mail List Serve.

Chapter 2 - Selecting Foreign Workers Under the Immigration Program PB - Office of the Auditor General of Canada N2 - Main Points What we examined In Canada, the federal government and the provinces and territories share jurisdiction over immigration. Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is generally responsible for the selection of immigrants and other foreign nationals and for ensuring that they are admissible—that is, that they do not present any risk to the health and safety of Canadians. The Department has also signed agreements with most provinces and territories allowing them to play an active role in selecting immigrants to meet the specific needs of their labour markets. In 2008, Canada admitted about 250,000 people as permanent residents, including about 150,000 individuals and their immediate family members selected on the basis of attributes that would enable them to succeed in a dynamic labour market, such as education, professional experience, and official language ability. In addition, Canada allowed almost 370,000 temporary foreign workers in 2008 to fill a short-term need for labour. We examined how CIC plans for and manages programs designed to facilitate the entry of permanent and temporary workers into Canada and the recognition of foreign credentials in Canada. In addition, we looked at the role of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) in supporting the planning and delivery of these programs, including the issuance of labour market opinions by its Service Canada offices. The audit covered the period from June 2002, when the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act came into effect, to 30 June 2009. Our audit did not cover how CIC assesses whether applicants are admissible to Canada or how the provinces and territories nominate candidates for selection. Nor did we examine the Canada Border Services Agency’s processing of work permit applications at points of entry into Canada. Why it’s important Immigration has played an important role in the economic, social, and cultural development of Canada throughout our history. Its role is just as important today, given our aging population and labour force. Canada has an ongoing need for permanent workers with various skills and must compete with other countries to attract them. In addition, Canada has a need for various types of temporary workers to address short-term needs of the labour market, which vary from year to year and from region to region of the country. It is critical that the government’s programs to facilitate the entry of permanent and temporary workers be designed and delivered in a way to ensure that the right people are available at the right time to meet the needs of the Canadian labour market. The choices that are made now will affect the kind of society Canada has in the future. What we found Although CIC followed a sound decision-making process in 2008 to design the Canadian Experience Class (a category of skilled foreign workers and students with Canadian work experience), the Department has made other key decisions without properly assessing their costs and benefits, risks, and potential impacts on other programs and delivery mechanisms. Program changes in recent years have resulted in a significant shift in the types of workers being admitted permanently to Canada under the immigration program’s economic component. We saw little evidence that this shift is part of any well-defined strategy to best meet the needs of the Canadian labour market. The inventory of applications in the Federal Skilled Worker category has almost doubled since our 2000 audit and, in December 2008, represented more than 620,000 people waiting an average of 63 months for a decision on whether they would be admitted. Measures taken by CIC in 2008 to limit the number of new applications—for example, processing only those that meet new, more narrowly defined criteria—were not based on sufficient analysis of their potential effects. While it is too early to assess their full impact, trends in the number of applications received since the beginning of 2009 indicate that they might not have the desired effect, and CIC could be unable to process new applications within the 6 to 12 months it has forecast. Furthermore, CIC does not know and has not defined how much time it should take to clear the inventory of applications on hand when the measures were introduced. CIC and HRSDC have not clearly defined their respective roles and responsibilities in assessing the genuineness of job offers and how that assessment is to be carried out. As a result, work permits could be issued to temporary foreign workers for employers or jobs that do not exist. In addition, there is no systematic follow-up by either department to verify that in their previous and current employment of temporary foreign workers, employers have complied with the terms and conditions (such as wages and accommodations) under which the work permits were issued. This creates risks to program integrity and could leave many foreign workers in a vulnerable position, particularly those who are physically or linguistically isolated from the general community or are unaware of their rights. Furthermore, weaknesses in the practices for issuing labour market opinions raise questions about the quality and consistency of decisions being made by HRSDC officers. CIC has successfully introduced a number of initiatives and tools to address some of the inefficiencies we reported in 2000 in its processing of applications in missions overseas. However, efficiency gains will be seriously limited until an information technology system that has been under development for almost 10 years is implemented in missions abroad and CIC makes effective use of available technologies. In the meantime, employees in missions abroad are still buried in paperwork and spending a great deal of their time on clerical tasks. In addition, while the Department has developed a quality assurance framework that is available to all missions, immigration program managers are not required to use it or to report on quality assurance. Therefore, CIC still has little assurance that overall, decisions by visa officers are fair and consistent. The entities have responded. The entities agree with all of the recommendations. Their responses follow each recommendation throughout the chapter.

Basic economic theory predicts, however, that these conditions are likely to affect the economic prospects of resident workers in the long run, thereby possibly generating negative perceptions from them. Using the results of a survey of resident construction workers in Metro Vancouver, we show that a large minority considers financial prospects and job security to be altered by the availability of TFWs. The degree of negative sentiments, however, varies with personal characteristics such as age and skill level. Also resident workers tend to overestimate the size of the temporary foreign workforce, which increases negative adverse perception. Hence, policies that improve information on TFW program and on availability of jobs may help alleviate negative sentiments.

Rapport du Comité permanent de la citoyenneté et de l'immigration Temporary foreign workers and non-status workers 28 cm. "40e législature, 2e session". Diffusé par le Programme des services de dépôt du gouvernement du Canada. CY - Ottawa PB - Comité permanent de la citoyenneté et de l'immigration N2 - Au cours de la deuxième session de la 39e législature, le Comité a parcouru le Canada du 31 mars au 17 avril pour entendre des témoignages sur les travailleurs étrangers temporaires et les travailleurs sans statut légal (ou sans papiers1) et sur deux autres sujets. Durant une période de trois semaines, il a reçu une bonne centaine de mémoires (voir l’annexe B) et entendu plusieurs dizaines de témoins (voir l’annexe A) dans les 12 villes où il s’est arrêté : Vancouver, Edmonton, Moosejaw, Winnipeg, Kitchener- Waterloo, Scarborough, Toronto, Dorval, Québec, Fredericton, Halifax et St. John’s. Le Comité actuel a cru qu’il était important de terminer ce travail pendant la 40e législature. Les travailleurs étrangers temporaires et les travailleurs sans statut légal ont des parcours d’entrée au Canada qui sont différents, des statuts différents et des perspectives différentes de participation économique et sociale à la vie canadienne. Cependant, ils ont en commun leur statut non permanent et leur vulnérabilité à l’exploitation, ils viennent combler les mêmes pénuries de main-d’oeuvre et ont les mêmes difficultés à obtenir leur résidence permanente. La partie I du présent rapport s’attache aux programmes canadiens d’immigration destinés aux travailleurs étrangers temporaires. Elle met en lumière la situation actuelle et la vision pour l’avenir, les possibilités de transition du statut de travailleur temporaire à celui de résident permanent et divers aspects des programmes eux-mêmes, à savoir leurs composantes administratives, la protection des travailleurs et l’expérience des travailleurs. La partie II porte sur les travailleurs sans statut légal, terme adopté par le Comité au cours de son étude. Elle propose des moyens d’enrayer la croissance de la population de travailleurs sans statut légal. A1 - Canada. Parlement. Chambre des communes.

Attention to intersecting social locations of gender, race and immigrant status helps capture the complex implications of temporary work for inequality. In particular, it highlights the salience of gender relations in shaping workers’ experience of insecurity in different types of temporary employment.

Le Centre d'appui au travailleurs agricoles migrants (CATA) qui a aidé M. Rosas à aller voir un médecin et à contacter la police pour récupérer sa carte d'assurance maladie. M. Desgroseillers, le patron de la ferme, nie le fait que M. Rosas ait pu se faire cette hernie au travail et le fait qu'il gardait ses papiers. Selon Andrea Glavez et Patricia Perez, resepctivement membre et fondatrice du CATA affirment qu'il ne s'agit pas d'un cas isolé et que plusieurs propriétaires de ferme gardent les papiers des travailleurs migrants pour que ceux-ci, las d'être maltraités, ne tentent pas de fuir. C'est une attitude encouragée par la Fondation des entreprises en recrutement de main-d'oeuvre étrangère qui a affirmé, dans L'Actualité maraîchère, que les propriétaires peuvent congédier les ouvriers s'absentant du travail pour consulter un médecin sans passer par eux. Lorsqu'un travailleur est congédié, il est renvoyé du Programme pour les travailleurs agricoles saisonniers et est rapatrié dans son pays.

Work permits should not be tied to one single employer, as this is a major cause of human rights violations p. 4: ***: Amnesty International’s research has shown that under the EPS system, migrant workers, in practice, have very limited scope for changing their workplace. This can seriously hamper their ability to lodge complaints about abuses because they fear antagonizing their employers or because they fear losing their jobs and thereby losing their legal status to work in South Korea. There are also reports that employers have seized official documents, including passports and work permits, preventing migrant workers from looking for jobs elsewhere p. 22: ***: Given this ever-present risk of dismissal and deportation, migrant workers often consider they have no choice but to accept poor working conditions and are less likely to seek to exercise fully their rights.

For example, migrant workers can change their jobs no more than three times and only with the permission of the employer. Migrant workers are unable to change jobs because of health problems that prevent them from continuing to do a particular job, or when they have suffered human rights violations in a particular workplace unless it (serious health problems and/or human rights violations) has been officially reported. A recent study showed that the majority of migrant workers interviewed (81.8 per cent) found it difficult to change workplaces under the EPS. In some cases, their situation became even more difficult after they highlighted abuses by their employers which made them want to change jobs.

Les immigrés ont de plus en plus souvent recours à l'aide de l'État, alors que le nombre de prestataires dans les autres catégories de la population diminue constamment, selon les dernières statistiques du ministère de l'Emploi et de la Solidarité, qui datent de juin 2003. Cela pourrait entre autres être dû à la déqualification professionnelle vécue par les nouveaux arrivants qui se retrouvent avec très peu d'options.

Canada's labour force is becoming more precarious with the growth of temporary and part-time wage work, own-account self-employment and other forms of employment that are not fully covered by labour laws and policies. At the same time, regardless of employment form, more and more workers are earning less money, working either too much or too little and have less control over their work. Many workers are also in precarious social locations because the growth of precarious employment is gendered and radicalized.

The notion of "postnational citizenship" has been challenged by many researchers who have argued that universal principles of human rights cannot be implemented and enforced without the consent of nation-states. Although nation-states have demonstrated a certain degree of respect for universal principles, their commitment to the ideas of post-national citizenship are based on a conception of citizenship rooted in membership in a particular bound community. The two notions of citizenship--one linked to inclusive universal rights and the other to membership in an exclusive community--are at times contradictory. Using the case of Mexican migrants working in Canada, this presentation will emphasize the difference between rights as a set of principles and laws on the one hand, and their actual practice and implementation on the other. Basok will argue that whereas legal access to economic rights has been extended to non-citizens residing in the national territory of sovereign nation-states, membership in the national community has often been denied to them, thus precluding them from exercising the rights to which they have been granted legal access.

Ce rapport contenait une analyse du Programme des travailleurs agricoles saisonniers du gouvernement du Canada et en énumérait les nombreux volets qui se sont révélés inefficaces et qui ne protègent pas adéquatement les droits des travailleurs migrants. Le rapport recommandait que le gouvernement fédéral apporte une série de modifications au programme afin d’en combler les lacunes. Dans l’année qui a suivi la remise de ce rapport, le gouvernement fédéral n’a pris aucune mesure visant à remédier aux nombreux problèmes que rencontrent les travailleurs agricoles migrants ou à combler les lacunes de son programme.

Comparisons are made with those of other OECD countries. Global migration patterns have changed as a result of post-industrial technologies. Although money, goods and services may move relatively freely, people do not. Processes of inclusion and exclusion occur within and between countries and regions. A typology of migrant incorporation is presented. Questions of human security and border controls are considered. Recommendations are made concerning the protection of migrant human rights.

The partner organization is the Immigrant Workers’ Centre (IWC) in Montreal. Located in a multi-cultural neighbourhood, this centre was founded in 2000 in order to work toward supporting immigrant workers in their struggles to gain social and union rights. The underlying belief of the centre is that effective education and organizing work can most effectively take place in the neighbourhood.
