Mauritius' Circular Migration Case

Submitted by Mr. Dário Muhamudo on

As part of its reform program and human resource development (HRD) strategy, Mauritius has been active in promoting circular migration. Since 2006, Mauritians have embarked on Circular Migration Programmes and some 300 workers have taken employment in Canada. In April 2010, a Bilateral Agreement with France was ratified; its implementation will start soon.
