Action Alert: Demand Permanent Residency for Undocumented Workers

The time is now to hold Prime Minister Trudeau accountable to his promise of regularization – granting permanent resident status for undocumented individuals. Despite assurances from the federal government earlier this Spring, Parliament is set to go on holiday as early as June 6, leaving us with unanswered questions and unfulfilled commitments.

Undocumented workers across Canada continue to live in uncertainty and fear, facing daily challenges without the basic rights and protections afforded to permanent residents. It’s time to raise our voices and demand action.

Join us in urging Prime Minister Trudeau to uphold his pledge for equality and justice for all. Together, we can stand up to racism and discrimination, and ensure a better future for hundreds of thousands of people, and for generations to come.

Take action now by entering your information on this page and sending a clear message to Prime Minister Trudeau: fulfill your promise, ensure equality, and secure justice for all.

Let’s make our voices heard and create positive change for our communities.
