RESPONSES TO SPECIFIC QUESTIONS

Question 7: If your country in not yet party to the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and members of their families, please indicate:

a) What are the considerations which may have prevented its ratification or its accession to the Convention?;


Government of Canada

Citizenship and Immigration Canada

Canada does not have a class of Migrant workers per se. Any non-Canadian who is authorized to work in Canada is protected by the same employment standards legislation as Canadian workers, and has the same access to government programs and services for workers. As such, we have no immigration policies in this regard that are inconsistent with international human rights instruments and have no discriminatory policies and practices against migrants in our laws for us to remove.
