Immigration Reformers Protesting Temporary Foreign Workers Programme Threatened by Anti-Racists
TORONTO. March 29, 2015. The long red on white banner proclaimed their message — “Canadian Workers Come First” — as some three dozen immigration reformers gathered this afternoon to protest a demonstration by an immigrant group pushing for temporary foreign workers to be allowed to stay indefinitely.
A group called the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change staged the protest against Temporary Foreign Workers and Live-In Caregivers being barred from working in the country for more than four years. This group also believes that all TFW’s and Live-ins should remain here permanently.
The 60 or so members of this group were peaceful as they gathered outside the offices of Citizenship and Immigration Canada offices at 55 St. Clair Avenue, East.
