This paper explores discrimination in immigration practices and the division of labour in Canada through the lens of world systems theory. Canadian immigration policy has clearly moved away from explicitly racist hierarchies and classifications. However, examining the phenomenal growth in the use of temporary labour highlights the ways in which `race' or ethnicity, class, and gender can intersect to create forms of triple oppression, excluding people from citizenship. The Live-In Caregiver Program is considered as an example of these processes. The Business Immigration Program and recent changes in immigration policy affecting refugees are also briefly considered. Attention is drawn to the historical relations between the expropriation of resources and wealth, and the construction of `difference'.
