The flow of migrant workers back & forth across state boundaries is described as a transnational migration system -- transnational because the migrants do not intend, or are not allowed, to stay in the receiving country, adopting its cultural identity & becoming part of its territorial community. Canada, a receiving country, has long had both a traditional system, in which immigrants enter Canada with the rights, benefits, & responsibilities of permanent residents, & a transnational system, in the form of a regulated temporary foreign worker program. More recently, an informal system has emerged that permits the entry of live-in domestic caregivers, almost entirely from the Philippines, without a formal inter-government labor agreement. These migrants, however, are given the opportunity, after two years of work, to apply for permanent residence. This paper examines Canada's strategic use of these three systems as a way to manage its need for seasonal agricultural workers & domestic care-givers, while controlling permanent immigration.
