Temporary foreign workers' rights
Employers are obligated to provide a safe and healthy working environment for all employees, including temporary foreign workers. Workers have the right to refuse unsafe work if they believe it puts their health or safety at risk.
Your employer cannot force you to do work that you think is dangerous. They cannot fire you or refuse to pay you. Your employer must look into any danger that is reported in the workplace. Temporary foreign workers are protected from abuse, harassment, and discrimination in the workplace based on race, nationality, gender, religion, or other prohibited grounds under Canadian human rights laws. You can consult the guide prepared by Employment and Social Development Canada in 9 different languages.
