Montreal, Canada – Canada has failed to take meaningful action to address systemic abuses in a decades-old foreign worker programme, subjecting thousands of labourers to an “inherently exploitative” system, Amnesty International says.
In a 71-page report released on Thursday, the rights group outlined a wide range of abuses linked to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), from wage theft to excessive work hours, racist abuse and violence.
