A Decade of Migrant Care Worker Programs: Report Launch

We are thrilled to invite you to the launch of the Migrant Care Worker Precarity Project (MCWP) report at our event titled "A Decade of Migrant Care Worker Programs: Addressing Racism and Precarity in Canada ", on October 23rd held in a hybrid format in Room 420 of the Wosk Centre for Dialogue and on Zoom.

The report is the conclusion of our research on the experiences of care workers on the implementation of the Home Child Care Provider and Home Support Worker Pilots by the IRCC and the Canadian government.

We want to share our findings and hear from you, your reflection on the report, and your recommendations on the future of care worker programs.

This event aims to bring together allied organizations, unions, and public bodies to generate conversation on the old and upcoming migrant care worker pilot and address the structural violence faced by care workers.
