Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Programme faces criticism for allegedly enabling exploitation and abuse of migrant workers

Amnesty International has criticized Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), highlighting the vulnerability of laborers to exploitation and abuse. The program allows employers to hire migrant workers for low-paid jobs, with some provisions deemed "harmful" by the organization. The rights group has specifically called for an end to "closed" work permits, which tie workers to their employers and leave them susceptible to exploitation.
