  • Ensure permanent residency status upon arrival for all new migrants, and permanent residency status for migrant and undocumented workers already here
  • No Employment Standards Act exemptions for employers of migrant workers
  • Regulate recruiters and stop illegal fees
  • Effective enforcement that include expedited anti-reprisals and community-led proactive inspections
  • Care workers and agricultural workers must have the right to unionize
