Abstract
The Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program Mexico-Canada (SAWP) is a mechanism for employing Mexican migrants in Canadian industry. Because participants in this program face numerous challenges, the Mexican government offers them protection and support through its consulates across Canada. Nevertheless, these services may prove inefficient and can even render migrants’ stay more precarious. This article addresses the question of why Mexican consular protection results in a precarious stay for SAWP workers.
