There has been much debate over the poor treatment of live-in caregivers in Canada, and the Federal Government is cracking down on these allegations and providing relief to these foreign workers.
The Government of Canada has taken action to protect live-in caregivers from abuse and exploitation with regulatory improvements implemented in the Live-in Caregiver Program in 2010 and the Temporary Foreign Worker Program in 2011. Changes include:
In 2010, CIC admitted a record number of permanent residents through the Live-in Caregiver Class, nearly 14,000, corresponding with the record number of live-in caregivers who entered the country as TFWs in 2007.
In both 2009 and 2010, about five percent of all permanent residents to Canada were admitted through the Live-in Caregiver Class, a huge percentage for any single occupation.
However, the number of caregivers entering the program has declined every year since 2007. As a result, improvements are being made to the program and the government is geared towards facilitating an influx of caregivers as this is currently an in-demand position with a growing labour shortage.
