There are a lot of employment agencies right now catering to the recruitment of these Filipino women.
Through studies in our community, we have also seen a lot of scams happening within this program. For example, they'll sign a paper stating they have an employer here in Canada, but when they arrive, there's no employer. They're immediately terminated from their employment without even starting to work. If they only have 24 months to complete their work here in Canada, within three years, a lot of time is wasted looking for other employment, plus it's very expensive because they have to pay about $4,000 to $5,000 to get employment here in Canada.
We see this as a legislative property in terms of the condition of these women. Without even receiving any salary, they already have debt.
