Some workplace concerns of international students causing mental health challenges include:
- sexual abuse
- verbal abuse
- unpaid work
- denial of payment / time off in case of injury
- discrimination
- intimidation
- illegal work
Contact Employment Standards for support.
Workplace exploitation is a contributing factor to mental health challenges. Government of Canada's LMIA initiative has been misused for the exploitation of students. It is important to recognize the signs of and appropriate responses to workplace exploitation. #projectalive
