All bark and no bite
The duty to report child maltreatment is a key legal and professional responsibility. Over time this duty to report has expanded and increasing numbers of families experience investigations by the child protection system.

This suggests …
Bordering non-citizenship assemblage through migrant legibility
In this paper, we conceptualise migrant legibility as a bordering practice where migrants seeking to maintain status or transition to permanent residency in Canada must negotiate the dynamic milieu of: 1) laws and regulations governing immigrant inclusion; 2) bureaucratic processes for verifying eligibility and admissibility; 3) informal social networks which can expand or restrict access to information and resources. Using two case studies from …

Navigating bureaucratic violence in Canada’s two-step immigration system
In recent years, Canada has moved towards a system of 'two-step' immigration, wherein a growing proportion of new permanent residents are selected from people who are already in the country on a temporary work permit.

Using a case analysis of a foster child in Ha…
