Vancouver Migrant Workers’ Rights Lawyer
Kesari Law can help protect your rights and guide you through your legal options.
Under Canadian law, migrant workers and temporary foreign workers have many of the same workplace protections as Canadian citizens and permanent residents. These protections apply regardless of nationality or immigration status. Let Kesari Law help you understand your rights.
Common Legal Issues Facing Migrant Workers
Many migrant workers face unique challenges due to employer-specific work permits and limited access to legal resources. Some workers may fear reporting abuse because they worry about losing their job or immigration status.
Our firm helps migrant workers address issues such as ~
Workplace Abuse and Exploitation
Some workers experience threats, harassment, or coercion from employers. Abuse may include unsafe working conditions, discrimination, or pressure related to immigration status.
Unsafe Working Conditions
Workers have the right to refuse dangerous work and report unsafe conditions without being punished or dismissed.
Wage Theft and Unpaid Wages
Employers sometimes fail to pay workers the wages promised in employment contracts or require unpaid overtime.
Immigration Status Problems
Employment issues can sometimes affect a worker’s immigration status. In certain cases, workers experiencing abuse may qualify for options such as an open work permit for vulnerable workers.
