OTTAWA Domestic caregivers recruited from abroad could find it easier to obtain permanent resident status in Canada under new federal rules being announced Saturday.
The live-in caregivers, who must pass a medical test to be admitted to Canada in the first place, also will no longer have to undergo a second medical examination when applying to become permanent residents.
The new medical standard was spurred by the heartbreaking tale of a caregiver who developed cancer while working in Canada and her painful fight to stay here.
Immigration Minister Jason Kenney will announce the changes at a news conference in Toronto.
The Toronto and Vancouver areas are among the major destinations for foreigners, most of whom are from the Philippines, who are hired to work as live-in caregivers for children and disabled and elderly Canadians.
The proposed new rules, which were outlined to Canwest News Service, are designed to address growing unhappiness over how caregivers are treated under the federal Live-In Caregiver Program.
The program, which dates back to 1992, is widely seen as ineffective in protecting caregivers from such abuse as being forced to work unacceptably long hours, having their passports withheld and being forced to perform duties beyond care giving.
The changes fall short of what many caregiver advocates have been demanding. Some argue, for example, caregivers should be granted permanent residency status as soon as they arrive so they are not so vulnerable to abuse by employers.
Rather than agreeing to immediate residency, the government says it's willing to let caregivers apply for permanent resident status earlier than is currently the case.
As it stands now, they must work for two years as live-in caregivers within the first three years of coming to Canada before they are eligible to apply.
Under the new rule, live-in caregivers would be eligible to apply once they have worked 3,900 hours, or the equivalent of working a standard workweek over two years.
The new rule acknowledges the reality that many caregivers work a lot of overtime, and, therefore, will be able to rack up the hours required for residency much sooner than two years.
The government also proposes to extend the deadline for completing the work requirement to four years from three years a change that recognizes caregivers' work can be interrupted by such developments as job loss or pregnancy.
Permanent residency is important because it makes it easier for the caretakers to then bring their families to Canada.
The elimination of the second medical test proves the campaign by the late Juana Tejada, a caregiver in Toronto, got the attention of the powers that be.
Tejada, who developed colon cancer after she started working in Canada, failed the medical test needed for permanent residency. She was told to leave Canada on grounds she was a burden to the health system.
In the end, she won the right to stay on humanitarian and compassionate grounds, but Kenney says the case of Tejada, who died in March, exposed a problem that must be corrected.
More than 100,000 foreign workers have come to Canada under the live-in caregiver program since 1992, including 12,878 admitted last year.
Other changes require employer contracts to spell out employer-paid benefits, as well as the job duties, hours of work, overtime and the terms under which a caregiver can resign or be fired.
The government also said it will set up a live-in caregiver hotline for those who need urgent help. The rule changes will become final after a 30-day consultation period, beginning Dec. 19.

联邦拟修例保障外籍保姆权益
联邦公民、移民及多元文化部长康尼(Jason Kenney)昨天在多伦多一个菲律宾社区举行的新闻会上宣布，将正式向政府提出修订外籍保姆计划中的不公平条例，包括取消对外籍保姆所特设的第二次体检要求、缩短超时工作外籍保姆申请居民身份的期限、简化更换雇主所需程序以及将虐待保姆的雇主列入黑名单等等。康尼表示，修例的主要目的是为了保障外籍保姆权益。
新民主党移民事务评议员、华裔国会议员邹至蕙表示，外籍保姆对加拿大家庭和谐做出贡献，政府应维护他们的权益并保护他们不受伤害。自由党国会议员詹嘉礼也认同这些修订建议，但指出这些改变仍过于保守，很难真正达到帮助外籍保姆的目的，即让他们尽快完成移民申请并早日与家人团聚。

News Release
Minister Kenney proposes significant improvements to the Live-in Caregiver Program
Toronto, December 12, 2009 ― Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced today proposed regulations to better protect the rights of live‑in caregivers and to make it easier for them and their families to obtain permanent residence in Canada. The announcement follows extensive consultations with caregiver groups from across the country, as well as heartfelt testimony before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration.
The first proposed change to the Live-in Caregiver Program eliminates the requirement for live-in caregivers to undergo a second medical examination when applying to become permanent residents, a change advocated by the late Juana Tejada.
Ms. Tejada developed cancer while working as a live-in caregiver. She was initially denied permanent resident status when she did not pass her second medical examination. It was only through special ministerial intervention that she gained status in Canada on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.
“Our government fully supports the ‘Juana Tejada Law.’ We propose to implement this change in her honour, to ensure that no one else has to endure this same painful experience,” said Minister Kenney.
Another proposed change will allow live-in caregivers who work overtime to apply for permanent residence sooner. Currently, live-in caregivers must work for two years within the first three years of entry into the program before they can apply for permanent residence in Canada. Unfortunately, events ? such as pregnancies or loss of employment ? have resulted in some live-in caregivers not meeting the two-year requirement.
Under the new measure, live-in caregivers would be eligible to apply for permanent residence after 3,900 work hours ? the equivalent of working a standard work week for two years. Also, a portion of their overtime hours could count toward the work requirement and enable caregivers to apply for permanent residence sooner. Equally important, these changes would also increase the time that live-in caregivers are allowed to complete the work requirement from three to four years.
“These important changes help fulfil Canada’s duty to those who care for our young, our disabled and our elderly,” Minister Kenney said. “The Government of Canada is taking action to protect foreign workers from potential abuse and exploitation.”
The proposed regulations will also require employers of live-in caregivers to pay for:
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will work closely with caregiver groups to improve information packages that live-in caregivers receive before they leave for Canada. CIC will also set up a dedicated live-in caregiver hotline. Emergency processing of work permits and new authorization requests from employers to hire a live-in caregiver will help caregivers when they need to change employers urgently. Live-in caregivers will continue to be able to apply for study permits when they want to take courses longer than six months; they do not need study permits for shorter courses.
Today’s announcement builds on recently proposed regulatory changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Employers found to have provided significantly different wages, working conditions or occupations than they promised may be put on a blacklist making them ineligible to hire a live-in caregiver for two years under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Employers on this blacklist could be identified on the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website in order to inform prospective and current temporary foreign workers of ineligible employers.
The Live-in Caregiver Program helps Canadians recruit caregivers to live and work in the homes of those they care for in order to provide child care or support for seniors or people with disabilities. The program facilitates the entry of qualified caregivers into Canada when there is a shortage of Canadians or permanent residents to fill available live-in caregiver positions. Because of Canada’s ageing population, the program is expected to grow in the years ahead. In 2008, Canada admitted 12,878 live-in caregivers.
The proposed changes to the Live-in Caregiver Program will be published in the Canada Gazette on December 19 for a 30-day comment period open to all Canadians. Final regulatory changes will be published after this period.

上一份中文版的，呵呵！
联邦政府移民与多元文化部部长康尼12日宣布对加拿大外籍居家看护项目的多项改进措施，力图以法律手段保护并改良居家看护的相关权益，提高政府对该行业的监察力度。居家看护的雇佣合同、雇主记录、工伤保险等多方面政策均有所变动，并且降低了居家看护申请加拿大永久居民身份的难度、提高移民申请的效率。
本次政策改革之一是取消居家看护申请移民的第二轮医疗体检。此变动的促因是今年3月份去世的菲律宾居家看护泰嘉达（Juana Tejada）曾因患晚期癌症、没有通过第二轮医检，两次申请移民被拒，但移民部最终批准了其移民身份的申请。康尼表示，加拿大政府以泰嘉达桉例为戒，全力支持这一基于人道主义的法律变动。
另一主要的政策改革，为加快超时工作的居家看护申请移民的速度。目前，居家看护必须在抵加的三年内工作满两年才可申请移民，而新政策下，居家看护只需具有3900小时的工作时间（即两年的标准工时）便可申请移民。这一措施使日常加班、超时工作的居家看护得以更快速的申请移民。同时，也将三年的工作时限延长为四年，降低了移民门槛。
政策变动还包括：居家看护的雇主需承担看护的抵加路费、短期医疗保险、工伤保险及其他费用。同时，雇主与看护之间需签订详细的合同，合同内容需具体落实看护的工作职责、工作时间、加班与假期、病假等多项细则。如若雇主违反合同条款、行为恶劣，则将划进「黑名单」，剥夺其两年内雇用外籍看护的权利。康尼说，外籍居家看护对加拿大意义重大，他们要照料加拿大的弱势群体：孩子、老人和残疾人，所以加拿大政府更应该对他们负责。
12日新闻发布会在一家名为Kababayan的菲律宾社区中心举行。每当康尼提及重要的政策改革时，台下观众不禁欢呼鼓掌。讲到动情之处，一些本地菲佣则涌出了喜悦的泪水。她们称本次政策改革为居家看护的切身利益带来了重大的影响，为外籍看护做了一件大好事。
除菲籍看护外，几名华人看护也出席了活动。一位来自中国大陆的宋姓看护称，她2007年以外籍居家看护身份来到多伦多，已经递交了移民身份的申请，她希望这次的政策调整，能够对她的移民申请有所帮助。
来自本地一间华人居家看护仲介机构的易先生认为，本次的政策调整使居家看护更容易申请移民，是加拿大政府赠送给外籍看护的一份圣诞大礼。
