Migrants and advocacy groups are calling on the federal government to swiftly implement a regularization program for all undocumented people.
Rallies, marches planned in 13 cities, including Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, Vancouver, FrederictonSyed Hussan, executive director of the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, says the group wants the federal government to implement a regularization program for all 500,000 undocumented people in Canada and to ensure permanent resident status for all 1.2 million migrants with temporary status.
Syed Hussan, executive director of the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, says it's an opportune moment for Ottawa to listen to his group's calls for more guaranteed basic rights for undocumented people in Canada. Ottawa launched a regularization program during the COVID-19 pandemic for asylum seekers who worked in the health sector, and the prime minister has asked his immigration and citizenship minister to explore other ways to regularize status for undocumented workers.
Hussan says the program should include all undocumented people and argues it should be a focus for the government as parliament prepares to return next week.
