Caregivers still vulnerable under new immigration rules, advocates warn
OTTAWA — Migrant workers employed in Canada as caregivers are confused by new changes to immigration programs aimed at them.
Many are concerned the changes could mean barriers to obtaining permanent residency.
Last month, Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen announced two new five-year experiments on caregiver immigration, which have been billed as a way to allow caregivers to come to Canada with their families and offering them greater opportunity to become permanent residents.
