Giving thanks to migrant workers, meaningfully

By ending temporary migration programs and returning to permanent immigration to address labour shortages, the government will truly demonstrate gratitude to migrant workers for their contributions to Canada.

Migrant workers, pictured, were welcomed by the Simcoe community at the Centre for Migrant Workers Solidarity, a partner of KAIROS’ Empowering Temporary Foreign Workers during COVID-19 project. If the Canadian government is truly grateful for the lasting contributions of temporary foreign workers, it would extend permanent residency applications indefinitely, and regularize undocumented workers who have—through no fault of their own—fallen through the cracks of Canada’s cumbersome Temporary Foreign Workers Program (TFWP), writes Connie Sorio.
