Well, during that time when I was working as a caregiver, it was so difficult for me to just quit my job, even if I was already being abused at work, because I wanted to complete the 24 months. During my time it was only three years; now it's four years, but it's still happening to many of them.
Another thing is health care issues. When you switch employers and you don't have the work permit, you cannot renew your OHIP. Clients who have cancer cannot go for treatment because they don't have the necessary health care services. That's one thing. Another thing is they are so scared to tell anyone, even me now, that they're being abused. Some of them are verbally, physically, and sometimes sexually abused, and yet they cannot speak. Sometimes they would call me with no number saying that they needed help. They didn't want to give me their name, but they wanted some advice on what to do, what the next step should be.
These things could be changed. We can do something about this situation.
