The live in caregiver contract implemented by the Philippine Overseas Labor Office in Toronto was still being questioned by live-in caregiver applicant themselves who were directly affected by this new rule. They were asking the need for additional monetary obligations from employers when this same people are already helping them by giving them a chance to come to Canada and become Canadians in the future.

Even some are saying that only those caregivers whose employers are their relatives will be able to get through because the relative would be willing to shoulder the additional requirement which in reality is not supposed to be their burden but of the Philippine government.

I don’t understand the logic of Frank Luna in imposing this ruling. If he claims that he is a practicing lawyer in Canada, then he should know fully well how Canada protects its citizens and residents. Even illegals have protection from the police, the courts and from ordinary citizens as well.

Canada is not a perfect society because there are also instances of failure in court judgement and there are issues with law enforcement sometimes. But I would rather risk my rights here in Canada than in the Philippines where the rule of law belongs to the politicians, the military, judges, police, government officials and the people with money.
