This paper examines experiences of labour market exploitation and precarity amongst migrating young adults in Canada. It analyses a specific case of hyper-exploitation and wage theft as experienced by a group of refugee young adults. Utilizing feminist materialist conceptions of knowledge and learning, this analysis seeks to move beyond an individualized conception of learning and experience by illuminating the inter-constitutive relations of social experiences. This paper seeks to demonstrate how attending to the social organization of migratory experiences allows for ruptures of individualized conceptions of self and society. Further, the case serves to demonstrate the complexity of experiences that influences the 'learning' associated with migration for refugee young adults.
