Description
Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker program has been shrouded in controversy, with many claiming that workers suffer poor experiences and employers reap significant benefits. However, this narrative is not entirely accurate.
Catherine Connelly sheds light on the reality of the program through over 100 interviews with individuals connected to different aspects of it. Her analysis reveals the vulnerabilities of various worker groups, including agricultural workers, in-home caregivers, and low- and high-wage workers, as well as the role of employment agencies and immigration consultants in perpetuating abuses.
Connelly also explores the experiences of employers, distinguishing between those who follow the rules and those who do not. Her work provides a nuanced understanding of the harms within Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker program and offers strategies for improvement.
