Abstract

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has displayed a change of attitude on migration, one radically opposite to that of his predecessor Harper, by establishing a policy of greater openness for the reception of immigrants and which constitutes the pillar of his political agenda. Consequently, the immigration system has improved in order to admit a greater number of immigrants, temporary workers and students; it has also established necessary measures to reduce processing times, as well as to improve family reunification, among other initiatives. Mexicans have played a preponderant role as temporary agricultural workers and, in absolute terms, they have gradually increased their participation as immigrants, temporary workers and students in recent years. This paper aims at describing the effects that Trudeau's immigration policy has had migrant population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

During the 2014 electoral process of Quebec, migrants were central actors. The dominant identitarian-populist faction had targeted its attacks on migrants, particularly Muslims, and presented them as a threat for society since their religions and traditions were dangerous to the Quebec's secular state --inspired on the "French model"--. The 2014 election evinced a new role of migrants, traditionally marginalized in both the political and public arena. Academics and citizens mobilized to stand against the dominant populist media and the powerful official discourse. Besides, the high rate of participation among migrants determined the defeat of the separatist party. This paper is a documentary media research as well as a testimony, as a migrant myself, about the electoral campaign. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
