Temporary Foreign Worker Program and Khristina Lawless

Khristina Lawless: Yet her attempts to hire a live-in caregiver to help with her kids, ranging in age from 5 to 17, have been unsuccessful, and the controversy dogging Ottawa troubled temporary foreign worker program has only made things worse, according to CTV. "My last nanny was here for six months but it didn't work out. But just getting her here in the first place was difficult. There was a lengthy wait time to get the labour market opinion, and I had to pay all of her travel expenses in addition to processing fees, and now I have to go through it all over again." - Khristina Lawless is almost single-handedly raising five children and operating a cattle ranch in rural Saskatchewan as her husband works shifts in the oilfields to try to make ends meet. "I'm not trying to take a Canadian job -- literally no one applied when I put up postings," Lawless, 37, said in an interview from tiny Maryfield, in the southeast reaches of the province, shortly after tending to a sick calf on Monday.
