Almost all Mennonites that workers in Canada live in Canada, some exceptions. They often travel to mexico for a few weeks or a month on occasion to visit family, but they live in Canada. They are not temporary foreign workers. I know quite a few, as they work on the farms that surround me, and 1 family are my neighbors. Most Temporary foriegn workers are Mexican nationals, Phillipeno, or similar. The Mennonites do not fall into this category. They are Canadian Citizens. There is some history of their people and their travels to be shared, but too much for this thread.
