Mission
We work to promote and advance access to justice for migrant workers by providing legal and support services, advocacy, research, public education and engaging in law and policy reform initiatives.
Vision
We envision a society in which all workers are entitled to secure immigration status and access to fair, safe employment. We strive to advance the rights of migrant workers , their families, and communities to equally participate in Canadian society and the Canadian economy. This includes the right to be free of exploitative practices arising from precarious status and inadequate labour laws and enforcement. We seek to support the equitable treatment of workers through fair immigration policy and improved labour standards, wages, and working conditions.
