Calgary Herald – Migrant Workers Who Fled Wildfire Worry About Losing Life in Canada
Gerebese, a 34-year-old temporary foreign worker, moved to Fort McMurray from the Philippines for a job as a sales clerk at Borealis Diamonds in August 2014. She sends half of her earnings home each month to support her aging parents. […] Like Gerebese, hundreds of temporary foreign workers who have fled Fort McMurray face an uncertainty that other evacuees don’t. Their work permits are tied to a specific workplace for a specific employer. Even if their workplace doesn’t re-open for months or at all, they can’t work anywhere else in Canada and might ultimately have to leave.
