Caribbean migrant worker in Canada<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another group of Dominicans will soon leave for Canada under the Canada Caribbean Seasonal Agricultural Workers Programme in July.<\/p>\n

Deputy Labour Commissioner, Eric Mendes, made the announcement while speaking to State-Owned DBS Radio.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expect another set to be leaving in the month of July. The numbers are not confirmed yet, but if all goes well we would expect in the month of July, not as big as 66 there are some more scheduled to leave in July,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to Mendes some of the workers are contracted to the employers for six (6) months and most of them between 3 to 4 months.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe minimum would be a 3 months contract,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

He indicated that this is their livelihood, a lot of them do not work in Dominica and they have not been able to do so because of Covid-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have not been able to work for some time and they look at that as their source of income,\u201d Mendes noted.<\/p>\n

He also indicated that the 66 Dominicans who left for Canada earlier in June arrived safely.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe workers thankfully, thank God, have arrived safely,\u201d Mendes stated. \u201cThey are in the process as we speak of completing the quarantine cycle and we expect very shortly within a couple of days they will commence their contractual obligations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another group of Dominicans will soon leave for Canada under the Canada Caribbean Seasonal Agricultural Workers Programme in July.
