Document Summary
Rachel k. brickner and christine straehle, the missing link: gender, immigration. Policy and the live-in caregiver program in canada (k) This article discusses the temporary foreign worker programs introduced by citizenship and immigration canada. In particular, the live-in caregiver program, which is a temporary foreign worker program that allows workers to come to canada in order to labour as private caregivers for children, the elderly, and disabled individuals. This program allows caregivers to apply for permanent residency after the successful completion of 24 months of full time work. There are a number of scholars, advocacy groups, former caregivers, and other parties that have raised concerns about certain regulations of this program. For example, caregivers under this program have an employer-specific work permit, must live in the homes of the employers, and have no external monitoring of their work environments. I did not know that the lcp was one of the only successful ways of getting permanent residency in canada.
