Document Summary
Dr. jill hanley associate professor at mcgill school of social work. Migrant workers in canada: long history, shift from permanent to temporary, serious concerns about temporary migrants(cid:495) social rights work and then leave when it is not convenient for us anymore. No language classes, no adaptation services, we just want them to come here: more and more connections among activist groups and migrant workers. Categories of migrant workers: temporary foreign worker program. Professionals (mcgill professors, but less precarious position obviously) Seasonal agricultural worker program (sawp) (live-in) caregiver program (not meant to be for housekeeping but used for these types of services as well) Low-skill pilot project (all kinds of services and manual labour) For the aforementioned three, it is not temporary work, always in demand, but no guaranteed way to make them be permanent citizens: working holiday visas & young professionals.
