Live In Caregivers: Wages And Working Conditions

Rigorous Assessment Dept: The new rules will bring tighter scrutiny to families trying to hire a foreign nanny. Effective April 1, 2011, the government will apply a more rigorous assessment of jobs for foreign workers to ensure that offers are legitimate, according to CBC. Employers who fail to meet their commitments to workers with respect to wages and working conditions will face a two-year prohibition on hiring foreign workers. 'The government is taking action to protect temporary foreign workers, including live-in caregivers, from potential abuse and exploitation.' Jason Kenney, immigration minister The federal government is tightening the regulations affecting live-in caregivers and temporary foreign workers, as well as the people who hire them. That assessment will consider whether employers have followed the rules in the past before they can hire a nanny or temporary foreign worker. A bad track record could lead to a denial of the necessary permits to hire foreign workers. As reported in the news.
