Entering the 21st century, Guest Worker programs, defined as temporary migrant labour systems, are poised to explode within all industrial-capitalist countries. This paper outlines the basis for examining work and learning relations associated with these programs evolving from a transnational, labour market infrastructure in the Americas with special attention to Canada. After tracing the long, historical trajectory of emergence, this paper argues that the complex political, economic, cultural, and resultant developmental dynamics of Canadian Guest Worker program’s unique developmental dynamics. These effects are seen to be shaped by race, class and citizenship relations, the learning that infuses their reproduction, intensification and contestation.
