Abstract

The global expansion of migration programs managed by non-state actors has cleared the way for the inception of the Guatemalan Temporary Agricultural Worker to Canada project. Responsibility over the regulated migration scheme has been delegated to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Quebec private interest group la Foundation des entreprises pour le recrutement de la main-d'oeuvre étrangère (FERME) in an effort to reconfigure the state governance approach and advance market mechanisms. By transferring authority to non-state agencies, the Canadian and Guatemalan governments also offload protection of migrants’ social welfare, granting the IOM and FERME with regulatory authority migrants. The transfer of control has granted non-state agencies with considerable clout over migration policies and the implementation of new labour recruitment schemes, creating a transnational space of institutionalized authority for non-state actors over the movement of migrants.
