We are all feeling isolated right now, so let's come together online to support each other and have fun! Come ready to sing, dance, and wear your best outfit! Register here: caregiversactioncentre.org/social_nov11_2020... We are into the second wave of COVID-19 and we are tired! We are working long hours - sometimes 12 hours a day! - with reduced or no extra pay. Some of us are trapped inside our employer’s homes and not allowed to leave the house to buy groceries, send money back home, or see our friends and family. We are worried and stressed about losing our jobs because our families rely on us to support them. Some of us have lost our jobs and are having problems finding a new employer. We are having difficulties accessing EI, income supports and health care. We are separated from our families and worried about if they will become sick or if we will ever see them again. You are not alone! Many current and former migrant care workers are going through this! Let's break the isolation! Join us for an online social where we will connect with each other, share our experiences, have some fun, and fight for our rights! Register below!

Federal Phone ZAP: Where's our $15 federal minimum wage? Last year, Justin Trudeau and the federal government promised to deliver "a federal minimum wage of at least $15 per hour, starting in 2020 and rising with inflation, with provisions to ensure that where provincial or territorial minimum wages are higher, that wage will prevail." With only about a few weeks left in 2020, time is running out! We need action NOW!...

****Care Workers’ Rights During #COVID19**** If I am a Care Worker receiving minimum wage, should my wages go up? Yes! On October 1, 2020, the minimum wage in Ontario increased to $14.25. This means that your employer is required by law to pay you $14.25 per hour. Read below for more information! SHARE this post with your friends and other Care Workers!...

Stella Ita, a migrant Care Worker from Cameroon, shares her experience of moving to Canada, working as a nanny, being separated from her family, losing her job, becoming homeless, trying to find a new job, experiencing racism, facing difficulties applying for permanent status, and finally being reunited with her children after receiving enormous support from her community. Care Workers S...HOULD NOT be forced to go through years of family separation before we can be reunited with our own families in Canada. To provide care to other people’s families, while being denied access to our own, causes unnecessary pain and suffering on Care Workers and our children.

READ & SHARE: Caregivers caught in a ‘Crisis Within A Crisis’! Our report shows that 48 per cent of respondents reported working longer hours, ranging from 10 to 12 hours a day. One in three respondents who lost their jobs during COVID-19 are struggling to find a new employer to sponsor them in order to obtain a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) and the 24 months (required for permanent residency), said Da Silva, Organizer with Caregivers' Action Centre. Care wor...kers who have become undocumented due to long delays in the renewal of their work permit continue to work long hours without getting fully paid, said Marlyn Lopez, Former Migrant Care Worker from Cceso Cceso. Caregivers who are awaiting results of their PR applications are in a state of limbo, or so-called in implied status. While allowed to stay in the country pending results of their application, migrant care workers on implied status are unable to renew health coverage. - Judy Cabato, Care Worker Member with CDWCR. COVID-19 has created a cascade of crises, shattering hopes for many. We now fear that permanent residency is slipping further away from us, the report reads. Immigration rules are responsible for this cascade of crises.

UPDATE: On September 23rd, the Federal government announced in the Throne Speech: when people choose Canada, help build Canada, and make sacrifices in support of Canada, we should make it easier for them to formally become Canadian. Sadly, these words were not accompanied with real immigration changes. They mentioned its previously announced program to give status to a few refugees who work in health care during the pandemic. They also mentioned giving full sup...port and protection to migrant food and farmworkers - but did not say HOW they would do this. The government also said they will continue to bring in newcomers and support family reunification - but did NOT say if they would get full status upon arrival and if migrant and undocumented people will be able to reunify with our families. What’s Next This is not the end. We know that we are right, and that we are not ALONE. We must bring together more and more migrants to raise their VOICES!

UPDATE: National Union of Public and General Employees calls for Full Immigration #StatusforAll! Many migrants are engaged in essential work, ensuring that families and communities are cared for. Yet the majority of this work is low-waged, and the majority of those who do it are racialized and women migrants This work is necessary not just during a public health crisis, but to transition our economies away from the impending climate catastrophe. Bad employers use immigrat...ion status as a tool to divide and pit workers against each other citizens against non-citizens to keep wages low and profits high. Full immigration status for all is an essential step towards eliminating inequalities in the workplace and necessary for a transition to a just and sustainable economy of care. We are ALL ESSENTIAL! We ALL deserve FULL immigration status.

SIGN, SHARE & ACT NOW Yesterday, Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, Climate Action Network Canada, KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives, Indigenous Climate Action, and Ontario Federation of Labour (OFL) spoke out at a virtual news conference to demand #StatusForAll! Patty Coates, president of OFL, Canada’s largest provincial labour federation, said that migrant workers have been denied equal rights in Canada for far too long. A fair society requires that ...everyone has equal access to rights and protections and this is only possible if migrant workers, refugees, students and undocumented people have full and permanent immigration status, said Coates. Lindsey Bacigal, Indigenous Climate Action communications director, said migrants and Indigenous Peoples share similar ordeals of injustice in Canada as a result of government decisions that negatively affect us such as difficulty accessing and receiving adequate health care and struggles to meet basic needs.

Among all adult females in the study who tested positive for COVID-19, 36 per cent were employed as health-care workers.

UPDATE: International Students organizing rallies in Toronto and Mississauga this weekend to demand real access to permanent residency! International student tuition fees have increased dramatically during COVID-19, even though students and their families have lost work and wages AND classes have moved to online. To access permanent residency, students are required to complete 12-24 of high waged work, despite there being an unemployment rate of about 17% for racialized worke...rs! Work permits cannot be renewed, which means thousands of migrant students will lose their immigration status and are at risk of deportation. Migrant students cannot access healthcare without a full-time job, and are facing difficulties accessing income supports. This is not fair!

UPDATE: Why Status For All of Us? Since the 1800s, migrant Care Workers have been coming to Canada to raise children and take care of the sick and elderly. Tens of thousands of farmworkers come here seasonally to work on farms, fields, greenhouses, factories, fisheries, and mushroom processing. Hundreds of thousands of migrant students pay expensive fees to study in Canada. Refugees flee their countries to find safety and protection. People with no papers or immigration sta...tus come through a number of different ways in search of a better life, just like all of us, but now don’t have any valid documents. There are at least 1.6 million of us who are temporary or undocumented in Canada, or one in every twenty-three people. Canada has failed to provide equal rights and support during #COVID19 to at least one in every twenty-three people.

READ & SHARE: Migrant Workers, Care Workers, Refugees, Undocumented People, International Students demand #LandedStatusNOW! Maria Ocampo from Cceso Cceso stated that care workers’ fight for landed status has been going on for decades. While there have been improvements in the system, new requirements further create barriers. One such requirement is a language test that’s not just challenging but also time consuming and expensive. They’re allowed to take the exam four to fi...ve times, but they have to pay. How many of them can afford this? she asked. If they already worked for twenty-four months for their employers and they like them, and they did very well then what’s the problem? We pick food for your tables, care for your loved ones we are the backbone of this country, said Bobadilla from Migrante Canada, during the protest. To the concerned Canadian, you are so lucky to be with your family. We want to be with our family also. We seek your support.
