Percy, Seasonal Agricultural Worker

I’ve been coming to Canada to work for 30 years. It’s nice to work here. When I come here to work, the money can go home and buy things. It helps feed my family, build a house, and then when I go back home, it’s like a holiday. I come here to work for seven months, then I’m back home five months, then back here again.

I’ve got three kids, they’re 28, 30 and 31. When you’re here, you get to know everyone so they’re like a family too.
