"This research report ... includes a diagnostic analysis of six different systems used to regulate temporary labor migration in the region comprising the Central-North American corridor. Three of these systems involve migration flows between El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico, on the one hand, and Canada, on the other. Another system involves the migration flows that have traditionally been aiming for the United States. Finally, another two systems are related to South-South migration associated to relations between neighboring countries and border populations: a) the bilateral program for temporary migrant workers between Canada and Mexico; b) the private system for temporary migrant workers from Guatemala going to Canada; c) the national program for temporary migrant workers from El Salvador going to Canada; d) the H-2A program for temporary agricultural workers, and the H-2B program for temporary non-agricultural workers in the United States, for Mexican workers; e) the bilateral temporary labor cooperation program for workers from Guatemala and Belize operating in the south of Mexico."
