The Immigrant Workers’ Centre and its members and allies mobilized for the Status for All March on July 17, 2022!

We demand an inclusive and comprehensive regularization program that includes all non-status people on Canadian soil, whatever their situation, whatever their year of arrival!

We demand that Quebec commit to this program and grant the Quebec selection certificate for true regularization!

WE LIVE HERE, WE WORK HERE, WE STAY HERE! REGULARIZATION FOR ALL!!!

The photos show a large number of people marching. Many are wearing white shirts bearing the words ‘Régularisation ATTAP – CTI’. Several flags and slogans can be seen, including:

  • Statut pour tous et toutes, estatus para todos, status for all, comite femmes ATTAP-CTI, régularisation ATTAP-CTI,
  • we live here, we work here, we stay here,
  • love and rage for ‘Daniel’ deported alone at the age of 17 #Statutpourtous,
  • We have value, we have rights, and together we fight for our cause, tenemos valor, tenemos derechos y juntas luchamos por nuestra causa,
  • le comité femme de l’ATTAP exige: un statut d’immigration, la carte d’assurance maladie, des prestations d’urgence, pour tous et toutes, maintenant, the ATTAP women’s committee demands: immigration status, health insurance cards, emergency benefits, for everyone, now, el comité de mujeres del ATTAP exige un estatus de inmigración, tarjeta de seguro médico, prestaciones de urgencia, para todos y todas, ahora
