MWC is pleased that the BC Government is implementing licensing for recruiters of migrant workers. This is a good first step towards ending the exploitation of migrant workers by recruiters who charge illegal recruitment fees for jobs in Canada. @MigrantRightsCA @RisingUp_bc

Recruiters in B.C. will require a licence by Oct 1 under the new Temporary Foreign Worker Protection Act! Today Minister @HarryBainsSN was at @MWC_BC announcing this important step in protecting foreign workers. #bcpoli

What is the point of informing migrant workers of their rights when they can get deported for asserting them as temporary non-citizen workers? We call on an end to the labour/immigration apartheid system that underpins food export production & TFWPs in Canada! #StatusNow!
