“…employer or spouse), or not having access to services granted to permanent residents, such as education or health coverage (Goldring et al, 2009 , 241). However, it is not a fixed position because migrants, depending on their variable capacities to meet the immigration conditions, can “climb the ladders” by gaining a more secure status or can experience chutes into more precarity (Landolt & Goldring, 2013 , 15; Goldring & Landolt, 2021 ). Legal status categories also condition the integration of migrant workers into the labour market.…”

“…This imbalance illustrates how state policies produce a “temporary-permanent divide” (Rajkumar et al, 2012 ) between migrant workers of a same entry category. At one end of the spectrum, there are workers with a temporarily temporary status because their conditions of residence allow them to “climb the ladders” (Goldring & Landolt, 2013 , 2021 ) towards a more secure status by gaining PR. At the other end, we find IEC workers with more restrictive conditions of residence, which place them into the precarious position of being permanently temporary in Canada.…”

From Working Tourists to Permanent Residents: Experiences of Migrant Workers with Youth Mobility Schemes in Canada

In OECD countries, international mobility programs such as youth mobility schemes have gained popularity over the last years. In Canada, the International Mobility Program (IMP) has become the dominant mechanism for temporary migrant workers to enter into Canada, and yet, this stream has operated largely below the radar of public debate. Our article focuses on International Experience Canada (IEC), a category of the IMP allowing young people to work and travel in Canada. Based on documentary, survey and interview material with IEC participants, we investigate how the IEC regulatory framework influences the employment and immigration experiences of these young workers. We argue that, instead of being a form of privileged youth mobility, the IEC is composed of multiple regulations resulting in significant variations in conditions of admission and stay among migrant workers. This situation leads to differentiated employment conditions and uneven transitions to permanent residence.

“…Honduras "mimicked" Salvadorean admissions to Canada. 10 Some Canadian scholars suggest that many immigrants of the fifth wave who later regularize their status (precarious to non-precarious) may be part of the non-permanent resident pool of previous years (Goldring and Landolt, 2021). The case of Mexican agricultural workers has been, perhaps, one of the most studied (McLauglin and Hennebry, 2013;Basok et.…”

“…Permanent status confers formal access to rights and entitlements but is associated with socioeconomic mobility. For those who do not manage to regularize their status in Canada after a certain period, scholars warn there is a danger that they become part of a low-paid underclass of "precarious" legal status workers (Basok, Belanger and Rivas, 2014;Goldring and Landolt, 2021). A "precarious" legal status is generated in many ways.…”

The Immigrant Waves from Latin America to Canada: A Look at Immigration and Census Statistics

In the last decades, migration from Latin America to Canada has become a topic of interest for Canadian scholars, policy decision-makers that look after the well-being of this population as well as for community members themselves. The nature of Latino immigration to Canada is continuously changing, and so does how the integration of these immigrants to Canada is interpreted and problematized. Using yearly immigration statistics and 2016 Census data, the author looks at the 1965-2015 and 1981-2016 periods and explores the five major Latin American immigrant waves previously identified by Canadian scholars: the Eurolatino or Lead of the 1960s, the Andean and Coup of the 1970s, the Central American of the 1980s, and the Technological-Professional which started in the mid-1990s. A sixth additional Sustaining Latino immigrant wave is also identified. Immigrant waves are the product of particular historical international developments as well as changes in Canada's immigration policy. The paper briefly also examines the historical moments of Latino immigration to Canada, the socio-demographic composition of national immigrant inflows related to these immigrant waves, and reflects on how the immigrant selection process has affected immigration integration outcomes and community formation.

Liquid migration revisited: Reflections on Brazilian mobilities to Australia

This paper discusses whether liquid migration, a framework developed to theorise recent patterns of intra‐European migration, is a suitable lens to analyse contemporary migration in other regions of the Western world. It does so by drawing on findings from ethnographic research conducted on the Brazilian migration to Australia, a recent migration wave whose patterns are embedded in a transformed migration context and paradigm. The reflections suggest that, notwithstanding a few differences and nuances inherent to the migration regime in question, the original framing of liquid migration is helpful to analyse and understand contemporary patterns of Brazilian migration to Australia. The contributions of this paper include a reframing of the original dimensions of liquid migration based on contemporary migration patterns to Australia. Based on the Australian case, this paper proposes a new dimension of liquid migration—namely, fluid visa journeys—which addresses some of the critiques of the original formulation of the concept. Finally, this paper argues that the fluidity of contemporary migration patterns to Australia is not a condition migrants pursue willingly, but rather one they are ‘trapped into’.
