Irregular immigration in general, especially in relation to the exploitation of human being, as is the case with trafficking of people, is a great concern in many countries such as Canada. In 2002, Canada ratified the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime. The majority of measures adopted by Canada in the fight against trafficking target migration control and the criminalization of traffickers, relegating the protection and assistance victims of trafficking to a secondary. In addition, several of these measures can victimize and even criminalize the victims. Temporary Resident Permits developed by Canada for victims of trafficking appear, from a victimological perspective, to be a step in the right direction. However, in practice, this measure is ineffective in reaching victims. This article presents, from a victimology and legal perspective, the progress and the gaps in legislation and the Canadian policy of protection and assistance to victims of trafficking.
