Thank you so much. It's a great question.
The elevated factors are how vulnerable they are, why they are in the country and what kind of vulnerability they have, just like every victim. Every single victim has one thing in common: What was the thing that they were so desperate for? Whether it's a 13-year-old Canadian girl or a migrant worker who comes over from Jamaica, why did they make such a big change that they want to come to Canada and leave their family behind, to work four or five months, sleep in a bunker, not seeing their family, only to make money? What is their desperation?
The factor that increases their chance of being trafficked is the fact that they're vulnerable, period. Why they're vulnerable could be for many different reasons. The problem is that once they are here, that makes it even worse for them because they don't have a support system; they don't know the law, they don't know whom to call, they might not even speak the language. And they're also terribly afraid of being deported, because once you've made it here—it is very difficult to get here—you don't want to go back because you were sold that dream that you could potentially fix your family's financial crisis, get the money for your mom's cancer medication, and the list goes on.
That's a very short answer.
