The United States, Spain, and Canada plan to work together to increase engagement in Latin America. The partnership aims to promote safe, orderly, humane, and regular migration while creating economic and social opportunities.
The three countries will expand regular labor migration opportunities, strengthen national governments’ ability to recruit, vet, and support workers, increase awareness of workers’ rights, and bring more international attention to the region.
Their cooperation is based on a shared dedication to the region’s people, a shared interest in addressing labor shortages in participating countries, a shared commitment to worker empowerment, and a shared awareness of the need to manage irregular migration.
The Los Angeles Declaration on Migration and Protection and the United States’ “Call to Action” for Central America both highlight the mutual hemispheric understanding, policy, and commitments that are expanded by this announcement.
The United States, Spain, and Canada have established specific goals that are part of this cooperative commitment. The three countries are committed to collaborating with the relevant regional governments in order to attain these ambitious objectives and to aid one another in doing so.
The three nations will also collaborate with multilateral institutions and organizations to determine how they can promote labor migration pathways, particularly by promoting fair recruitment procedures and worker rights.
Canada:
- More than 50,000 foreign workers from Mexico, Guatemala, and the Caribbean came to Canada in 2022, solely for the agriculture industry. While almost all of the region’s temporary foreign workers work in the agricultural sector, trends in employer demand in the private sector point to increased future growth. Canada’s temporary employment pathways are determined by demand, and some organizations work directly with local stakeholders to fill labor market shortages.
- As part of its joint commitment, Canada will make use of its current economic initiatives like the Agri-Food Pilot and paths for temporary foreign workers to offer safe, regular paths as an alternative to irregular migration.
- In addition, Canada is looking into further humanitarian pathways to accept and hire more refugees from the Americas. This includes the recently enlarged Economic Mobility Pathway Pilot, which offers an additional economic immigration path for eligible refugees and other displaced people.
- The Canadian government is committed to boosting labor mobility from the region, especially through promotion and communication efforts that link Canadian businesses with local stakeholders, such as national labor ministries. This may be particularly appealing to small- and medium-sized business owners in rural areas who require employees but may not have access to more wide recruitment pathways.
- In order to address the root causes of irregular migration and support legal paths for labor mobility, Canada will step up capacity growth initiatives in the region. These efforts will include ones that encourage socioeconomic integration and the ethical recruitment of temporary foreign workers.
- As agreed during the North American Leaders’ Summit, Canada will share information regarding its policies and best practices.
