The coronavirus has further exposed Canada’s exploitative immigration practices—an immigration system that doesn’t provide citizenship paths to so-called “unskilled” labour, fails to recognize their worth and, as a result, fails to protect them. These workers are essential enough to cross the border into Canada during a pandemic, but their poor living conditions exacerbate their vulnerability to the virus.
Recently established federal regulations stipulate that workers must be quarantined for 14 days after arriving in Canada, and paid the equivalent of 30 hours a week during this time. If a worker gets sick after their quarantine, they may be eligible for CERB under the same restrictions as other Canadians—having worked 5,000 hours in Canada in the last year. But paid sick leave isn’t guaranteed, as it depends on provincial regulations.
We shouldn't allow this. The farms/companies should have to hire Canadians and pay min wage.
this Mr. JustinTrudeau is systemic racism in Canada.
And why should they? We don't need people to support, we need people that will support Canada.
Saying 'fails to recognize their worth' is b.s. otherwise they would not be granted work visas. This article is a social justice warrior attempting to mislead the public. If other counties offer better then, they are free to go elsewhere.

Then the immigration system needs to change.
