flag Migrant workers in Newfoundland and Labrador face rising exploitation risks due to flaws in the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, despite minimal official reports.

flag Newfoundland and Labrador's reliance on migrant workers in key sectors is growing, but human rights advocates warn the Temporary Foreign Worker Program enables labour trafficking due to systemic flaws, despite low official reports likely from underreporting in rural areas. flag A 317% national rise in suspected cases in 2024 highlights the risk, yet provincial leaders, including Premier Tony Wakeham, have offered no concrete protections, only general concern. flag Experts stress urgent action is needed to address exploitation, debt bondage, and lack of support, as migrant workers face stigma and isolation while sustaining rural communities.
