This full-day meeting will offer an opportunity for migrant workers to gather together with other participants (including advocates for migrant justice, front-line workers involved in settlement or other service delivery, and those involved in human rights or labour organizing) and share information and strategies on providing support to and advocating for the rights of migrant workers.

This meeting takes place directly after the Canadian Council for Refugees Fall Consultation.

The objectives of the meeting are to:

  • Create a space for sharing and learning among migrant workers, grassroots support groups, social service providers and migrant rights advocates
  • Offer practical information to migrant workers
  • Share strategies and solutions for case work with migrant workers
  • Discuss policy advocacy and common campaign strategies
  • Provide an opportunity for networking among migrant workers and individuals and groups working on issues related to migrant workers

You should attend this meeting if you are:

  • A migrant worker in Canada
  • An advocate for migrant justice and human rights
  • A front-line worker in settlement or other support service delivery
    involved in the movement for worker’s rights

Please note that this forum is not appropriate for employers, recruiters or immigration consultants who work with migrant workers on a for-profit basis.

This meeting is hosted by the Canadian Council for Refugees.
