Slashing immigration targets will put people already here in ‘precarious’ positions, says group (2024)

Last month, the federal government announced new, tighter rules around immigration(opens in a new tab) and the temporary foreign worker program. But now advocates say those rules are hurting people who are already here. "The only impact of these measures is to create more people without status or precarious status. So they run, they are not fixing anything. They are only creating more problems," said Manuel Salamanca Cardona, a community organizer at the Immigrant Workers Centre (IWC).


This virtual space is designed to help us connect across the land that we are currently calling Canada. Our members are standing on different parts of this land that many Indigenous peoples have been taking care of for millennia before settlers arrived. We acknowledge the injustices that have been committed in the past and the harms that continue. We are committed to learning, sharing knowledge, and working towards a just future through building respectful relationships between established or recent settlers and the first nations of what we now call Canada.
