Gregory Simon and Federal Government

foreign worker: Simon and his wife have been waiting since October for the federal government to allow them to hire a temporary foreign worker to care for the couple three young children, according to CBC. The family current nanny was hired two years ago through the Live-in Caregiver Program, part of Canada Temporary Foreign Worker Program. We're in limbo," said Gregory Simon, an Sherwood Park father of three who applied to the program last year. The process took about eight months to hire the first nanny. But a couple of months after they started the process, the federal government made changes to the rules and renamed it the Caregiver Program. When they needed to replace their current caregiver for September 2015, Simon expected the process to take about as long. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
