(WPO10) Temporary Labour, Permanent Struggles: Migrant Workers in a Conditionality Conundrum

| |
Significant research has highlighted intersectional vulnerabilities in low-paid, low-skilled temporary workers; however, medium and high-skilled (and paid) temporary foreign workers also face exploitation through labour conditions and cyclical permit renewal. When compounded with race, gender, ethnicity, and class, temporary work permits heighten intersectional vulnerabilities, impacting both labour conditions and migration trajectories of temporary workers. This session aims to shed light on the overlooked area of medium and high-skilled work, examining the persistence of exclusionary policies within Canada’s migration programs. Papers presented delve into how exploitation and vulnerability transcend skill levels and persist within Canada’s various migration programs.
