Event Details

The issues of Temporary foreign workers or migrant workers are well publicized to the civil society. Topics
such as access to benefits, employment standard legislation, access to services and awareness campaigns
seems to be in the forefront of migrant advocacy work. As children of Migrant workers we aim to present a different point of view to this cause. It is a struggle to be left behind back home, it is even a greater struggle to integrate in a society that looks down on the hard work of our parents. We would like to present issues within family separation, family re unification and offer our analysis for policy recommendation. Case studies and analysis will be our way of presenting.
