摘要：

Migrant agricultural workers employed through Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program face serious occupational health and safety hazards, with compounded difficulties in accessing workers' compensation (WC) if they are sick or injured by the job. Little is known, however, about their ability to return to work (RTW) upon recovery-a fundamental right included in the conception of WC, but complicated by their restrictive work permits and precarious immigration status. Based on interviews with injured migrant workers in two Canadian provinces (Quebec and Ontario), our research suggests that workers' RTW process is anything but straightforward. This article highlights three key issues-pressure to return to work prematurely, communication and bureaucratic challenges with WC agencies, and impacts of injury/illness and failure to return to work on workers' long-term well-being. Consequences and opportunities for reform are discussed.
