While economic liberalism has produced a mobile transnational labour force, it has also created a process that concentrates im/migrant female labourers in Canada in a deregulated, exploitative work environment. This paper investigates the processes of various forms of commodification originating from Canada's Live-in-Caregiver Program (LCP) & shows that the accelerated de-skilling of female domestic workers through the LCP has paved the way for the partial commodifcation of these labourers. The paper undertakes an analysis of macroprocesses within a political economy theoretical framework & reviews migration from theoretical & feminist perspectives. By examining race, class & gender dynamics in transnational migration, I demonstrate the processes involved in the commodifying of im/migrant women workers in Canada, that turn them into what some label as "feudal indentured labourers.". 59 References.
