Abstract

Given recent emphasis on the relationship between human trafficking and transnational crime, the experiences of trafficked persons are increasingly intertwined with the territorial boundaries of the state, political boundaries of citizenship, and symbolic boundaries of national identity. A conflict has emerged between human rights (e.g. rights of migrant workers) and international systems boundary maintenance (e.g. national security), resulting in a growing number of people falling into a “citizenship gap” where their “lives are subject to global markets and mobility without secure membership in a national community” (Brysk and Shafir 2004: 6). Such a gap creates vulnerabilities for temporary workers, such as those who have been exploited or trafficked despite their legal status in Canada. This paper examines the experiences of frontline workers and trafficked persons in Western Canada to understand experiences of exploitation and human trafficking through legal entry points in to Canada, such as the Temporary Foreign Worker program and the Live-In Caregiver program. In doing so, this paper highlights the emerging conflict between humanitarian principles (i.e. human rights) – which have the perceived ability to challenge sovereign modes of inclusion and exclusion – and the sovereignty of the nation-state to insist on the role of citizen as the primary political entity (Nyers 2006). The paper further explores how this conflict is reconstructing boundaries of territory, citizenship, and identity in Canada.
