Education Requirements and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander

Immigration Minister Chris Alexander: While these caregivers will no longer be obliged to live in their employers home, Immigration Minister Chris Alexander also announced Friday that new minimum language and education requirements to become eligible to work as caregivers here would be imposed, according to The Star. Caregivers matter to Canada and have made enormous contributions to Canadas economy, to our economic success, to the success of the Canadian families, Alexander told a new conference about Canadas 2015 immigration plan and Starting in December, Ottawa will replace the decades-old live-in caregivers program with two new labour streams and restrict the number of foreign nannies it accepts. Its still unknown if the government will remove the right to automatic permanent residency for caregivers who meet their minimum employment hours and pass the necessary criminal and medical clearances.
