Workplace harassment is a common reason why people leave their jobs. Often they are seeking better work environments. Harassment in the workplace can become a more complicated problem for immigrants due to intersecting issues relating to their citizenship status, place of origin, gender, ethnicity, race, faith, sexual orientation, and disability. A lack of understanding of the Canadian workplace culture may also place newcomers at a disadvantage because they may not know what is and is not acceptable in the workplace. In addition, they may tolerate harassing behaviours from others in the workplace in order to protect their job security.
Several Canadian laws protect workers from harassment such as federal and provincial human rights legislation, occupational health and safety laws, and the Criminal Code.
