There is a profusion of scholarship on temporariness and the lived experiences of these migrant non-citizens; however, the literature separates the multitude of forms of temporariness both theoretically and experientially. I illustrate that there are striking similarities in the state\u2019s approach to two seemingly distinct groups (based on their rationale for admission): low-skilled temporary foreign workers and refugee claimants. I conclude with the potential for post-national conceptions of citizenship as well as transnational and trans-institutional advocacy to reject the analytical and political silos in which temporariness in Canada is understood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Biography: \u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad\u00ad<br>\n<\/strong>Dr. Amrita Hari is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Women\u2019s and Gender Studies.
