Guatemalan migrants talk about the Temporary |
“During your stay in Canada, you should only do the activities you are assigned to and should not distract yourself with any group or association”
“Reasons to exclude you from the program that will force you to pay your plane ticket: alcoholism, theft, lack of respect and sexual relations”
“Upon arrival at the farm, the employer will keep your passport for the duration of your stay in Canada”
“Use deodorant before the flight and every day you stay in Canada”
“Beware of having relations with women”
“In case you needed to go back to Guatemala before ending your contract, you will have to prove that you have a good reason. Even then, the employer can choose whether to hire you the next season”
“You should keep your hair short to avoid lice”

• The Liberals and Conservatives have made comments that suggest that Canada’s diversity is the primary reason for our current economic crisis. Immigration has been a source of prosperity in our country. The dangerous political strategy of “scapegoating” immigrants and migrants and espousing protectionism and extreme nationalism can quickly degenerate into intolerance, xenophobia and outright racism.
• Limiting immigration will result in a Canadian workforce that is ill equipped to respond to labour market needs once the economy is back on the upswing.
• Stand up against the Conservatives and Liberals who blame immigrant and migrant communities for their parties’ poor economic policies.
• Tell the Conservative Minister of Immigration Jason Kenny, that Canadians want less blame and more solutions in this economic crisis by clicking “Send a Message” Button above right. Your letter will also be copied to both the Liberal and NDP Immigration Critics.
