In a feature article for Christian Courier, CPJโs Refugee & Migrant Rights Policy Officer, Rena Namago, reflects on Canadaโs Temporary Foreign Worker Programs, their human costs, and the inspiring tradition of the Canadian Churchโs advocacy efforts for refugees and migrants that we are invited to continue. She explains why, even though the program is often described as a โtriple-winโ for origin countries, Canada, and migrant workers, the story is often different when we listen to migrant workers and their families.
โWhen we remember our primary [Kingdom] citizenship, we experience the freedom and calling to see immigrants not as โother,โ but as fellow image-bearers and kin in ways that break the boundaries of geographical borders and social categories.โ
