The global agricultural industry relies more on transnational migrant labor. The experiences of this precarious workforce in receiving countries have drawn increased attention from policy-makers and researchers. This study looks at how the International Organization for Migration helped develop a labor migration corridor from Guatemala to Canada. It examines how the IOM’s activities relate to new forms of migration governance. While this case is unique in some ways, it shows the growing complexity of managing migration internationally. For example, Canada plays a key role in managing and recruiting temporary labor, but other actors are also involved. This situation can make migrant workers more vulnerable, while states can avoid taking full responsibility for their well-being.
