- Abstract
This article explores the impact of migration, immigration and the process of family reunification in Brandon,
Manitoba. The community has recently experienced an influx of temporary migrants to fill labour shortages
at an expanding pork processing plant. The case is unique because “temporary” does not necessarily mean
temporary; many temporary migrants transition into immigrants and reunite with their families.- Journal title
