That would improve the delay we find in processing the work permit, so that might also improve their chances of applying for permanent residency. But there's also the fact that the majority of women coming from the Philippines to work under the live-in caregiver program are professionals in the Philippines. There are also nurses who come because their nursing profession is not granted any occupational points under the current point system. So we have a nursing shortage and crisis here in Canada, but nurses are working under the program. What we see is really a racist policy within the nursing regulatory boards and associations that are making it very difficult for them to move out of the program into nursing.
So really, if these women were allowed to come to Canada to work in their professions, and the Canadian government seriously looked at supporting fully the child care and health care programs, we wouldn't have this problem.
