About Live-in Caregiver Program

Ottawa urged to scrap live-in caregiver program

(According to Kelowna.com or follow the link: http://www.kelowna.com/2009/12/24/ottawa-urged-to-scrap-live-in-caregiver-program/)

“Advocates for immigrant nannies are calling on Ottawa to scrap a program that has allowed tens of thousands of women to immigrate to Canada.

In a bid to address problems of overwork and underpayment in the field, Ottawa is proposing changes to the live-in caregiver program, which allows the mostly Filipina workers to apply for permanent residence after working as domestic help for two years. Changes include a mandatory contract with duties, benefits, hours and holidays, having employers pay for travel to Canada and increasing the time to complete the two-year requirement to four years.

The program traps Filipina women in low-pay jobs where they’re vulnerable to abuse and exploitation and keeps women separated from their families, advocates from the Philippine Women Centre of B.C. said Wednesday.

Gloria Remirata, who became a live-in caregiver in 2000, was separated from her three children for six years after leaving them in the Philippines with her sister, which she called “the most difficult decision I made in my life.”

At a conference Wednesday, she wept recalling how she had missed their birthdays and graduations.

Ayex Bathan, separated from her mother for six years, said the program isn’t worth the toll it has on families, calling it exploitative, anti-woman and racist.

Advocate Leah Diana said Ottawa should remove the requirements that caregivers live at their employers’ home, work for two years before applying for residence and be contracted to a specific employer. Caregivers should be allowed to immigrate as permanent residents with their families to fill shortages in domestic work in the same way other immigrant workers can to work in other fields, they said.

But Paragon Personnel owner Ed Carmona said killing the program would put an end to a fast-track immigration process for unskilled workers who couldn’t otherwise qualify to immigrate to Canada and deprive Canadians of nannies.

“You tell me how many Canadians would be willing to be a live-in nanny for minimum wage of $8 an hour?” he said.

He said if they didn’t live in, they couldn’t afford the rent on minimum wage, and a $15 hourly wage would make nannies prohibitively expensive for average families.

Changes to the Live-in Caregiver Program

admin — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 00:12:00 +0000

The official newspaper of the Government of Canada, “Canada Gazette”, published “Regulations Amending the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations” with changes to the Live-in Caregiver Program:

It is proposed that all live-in caregivers no longer be required to complete a medical examination when they apply for permanent
residence. Instead, the medical examination completed to qualify for the initial work permit/temporary residence as a live-in caregiver
would be assessed for excessive demand in anticipation of the applicant applying for permanent residence under the LCP
rather than just for temporary residence.

By eliminating one of the two medical examinations and requiring that live-in caregivers, at the time of their application for a work permit, be assessed with a long-term view in anticipation of their application for PR status under the LCP, administrative processes would be streamlined and cost savings for live-in caregivers could be achieved. The examination at the work permit/temporary resident stage would continue to screen for infectious disease and the chance of contracting such a disease after arriving in Canada would be minimal.

REGULATIONS AMENDING THE IMMIGRATION AND REFUGEE PROTECTION REGULATIONS

1. Section 30 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations1 is amended by adding the following after subsection (2):

Exception (2.1) A foreign national who has applied for permanent resident status and is a member of the live-in caregiver class is not required to submit to a medical examination under subsection (1).

2. (1) The portion of paragraph 113(1)(d) of the Regulations before subparagraph (i) is replaced by the following:

(d) they entered Canada as a live-in caregiver
and for at least two of the four years immediately
following their entry or, alternatively, for at least
3,900 hours during a period of not less than
22 months in those four years,

(2) Subsection 113(2) of the Regulations is replaced
by the following:
Calculation (2) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(d),
(a) the periods of two years and 3,900 hours may
be in respect of more than one employer or
household, but may not be in respect of more
than one employer or household at a time; and
(b) the 3,900 hours are not to include more than
390 hours of overtime.

The federal government announces changes to protect foreign live-in caregivers.

admin — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 08:15:53 +0000

The federal government announced steps Saturday to better safeguard foreign caregivers from abuse and exploitation, but opposition critics said the changes Immigration Minister Jason Kenney is proposing won’t provide full protection.

The revised regulations stem from months of consultations with caregiver groups, and Kenney expressed hope they will allow a better life for people who come to Canada to become nannies.

“To ensure they’re not subject to abusive situations, to ensure they’re not exploited by unscrupulous consultants and to ensure they have a fair, clear pathway to permanent residency,” Kenney told a news conference.

Among the changes Kenney is planning to the Live-in Caregiver Program is elimination of the requirement for caregivers to undergo a second medical exam.

The measure was proposed by Juana Tejada, a Toronto nanny who developed cancer while working as a caregiver and was initially denied permanent resident status when she failed her second medical examination.

The changes would also give nannies up to four years to complete a total of two years’ work needed to apply for landed-immigrant status. Currently the limit is three years.

The government hopes the change will prevent events like pregnancies or loss of employment from stopping live-in caregivers from meeting government requirements.

Those wanting to hire a nanny from overseas would have to pick up the cost of bringing them to Canada and provide medical coverage until the nannies are eligible for provincial health plans. They would also have to pay any fees to recruiters, Kenney said.

“No longer will caregivers be paying people to get the jobs to work in Canada,” Kenney said.

The government is also going to require caregivers’ employers to clearly outline job duties, hours of work, overtime and holidays, sick leave, and termination and resignation terms.

Employers who provide significantly different wages, working conditions or occupations than they promised may be blacklisted.

The public will have 30 days to comment on the changes before the final version takes effect sometime next year. (According to CTV News)

About Hiring a Nanny – How Many Interviews?

admin — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 07:03:11 +0000

You like someone but aren’t quite sure whether to hire her? The ideal solution is to have her come back for a second interview (the first with parents only, the second with parents and children).
If you do call somebody back for a second interview, it makes sense to have her spend an hour or so with your child in a relatively unsupervised setting. You may wander in and out of the room and observe their interaction, or watch how they get along when they’re together in your neighborhood playground.

Asking the nanny to come back for a second interview may help assure you that you’re making the right decision, but it could well be seen by the childcare applicant as an imposition (it does cost her time and money). So if you do call someone back for a second or third interview, a good faith gesture on your part might be to reimburse her for her expenses and pay her for her time. The best policy is to pay an applicant the same hourly rate as she would get if she were working for you.

Don’t rush into a decision you’re not completely comfortable with. But remember, somebody who’s really good might be snapped up by someone else while you’re straddling the fence.
People who have previously hired in-home childcare workers often have a more specific job description in mind than those who are hiring for the first time. These experienced childcare employers may, therefore, be more decisive, finding it easier to interview and easier to make a decision than families hiring caregivers for the first time.
