Temporary foreign workers in Canada face serious challenges, including exploitation, fraud, and lack of protection. They endure hazardous work conditions and financial scams, highlighting a pressing need for change.
Temporary foreign workers in Canada frequently endure hazardous and unjust work conditions. Many are overworked, underpaid, and need proper safety measures. An official report revealed that nearly 80% of inspected workplaces violated at least one labor standard.
Fraudulent schemes targeting temporary workers are rampant. In 2022, cases of fraud increased by 30%, with scammers demanding large sums for fake job offers or permits. A recent report highlights a scam targeting temporary foreign workers in Calgary, emphasizing the ongoing severity of these issues. For more on fraud prevention, visit the Government of Canada’s website.
Despite efforts to safeguard these workers, gaps remain. Inspections are often insufficient, and many workers hesitate to report abuses. In 2020, only 10% of workers reported issues due to fear of retaliation. Additionally, fines for employer abuses of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program have increased significantly, as highlighted in a recent Globe and Mail article.
These initiatives mean safer, fairer working conditions and protection from exploitation for temporary foreign workers.
