The 2014 changes to The Temporary Foreign Worker Program and the Caregiver Program that
were designed to eliminate worker abuse have led to the opposite effect by making temporary
foreign workers and caregivers more vulnerable. The continued system of tied work permits
place workers in situations of precariousness because of the immense power discrepancy
between workers and employers. Proposals to make employment agents caregivers’ employers
will not eliminate instances of abuse because caregivers’ security of status in this case will still
be dependent on their employers’ good will.
