Well, exactly, and that's what provokes so much of the delay, even for those six months I'd have to wait here to change employers. I'm not even talking about the wait times abroad, just the ones here within Canada, which I believe an open permit would certainly resolve. If they came into Canada with an open permit, with no obligation to have one single employer, but definitely with the obligation to work, then the same conditions that apply to qualified workers, that you have no access to social programs, no social assistance during those first three years of your stay in Canada, would apply to the live-in caregivers.
