WINDSOR, ONT. A migrant worker advocacy group is raising concerns about the process to get temporary foreign workers vaccinated. The Migrant Rights Network is calling for a series of measures to ensure visitors doing essential work in Canada are protected against COVID-19. “Promises need to be turned into real policies and practices,” says Syed Hussan of the Migrant Rights Network. By the end of Spring, close to 10,000 migrant workers will arrive in Windsor-Essex County to work at area farms and greenhouses. The Migrant Rights Network wants to ensure they’re safe and vaccinated in a dignified manner. The organization, backed by doctors and labour, has sent the government a list of solutions to ensure their immigration status is not a barrier to getting vaccinated.

The Lead
As CBC News reporta, the Migrant Rights Network says it is concerned many workers will not be able to get a COVID-19 vaccine because they do not have access to health coverage or because workers fear their personal information could be shared with immigration officials.
In an open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau along with provincial and territorial leaders, advocates say vaccines must be free for everyone in Canada, regardless of their immigration status. Individuals should also not be required to provide a health card to get the vaccine. You can find the full letter here.
