Victim Stories and Worker Experiences

SUMMARY - Victim Stories and Worker Experiences

Consider the experience of Elena, a skilled construction worker from the Philippines who arrived in Ontario with a valid work permit tied to a specific employer. She was promised fair wages and safe working conditions, but upon arrival, she found herself living in overcrowded housing and working excessive hours for pay significantly below the agreed-upon rate. When she attempted to complain, she was warned that her status in Canada depended entirely on her employer’s goodwill.
