Sa mga nakaraang taon, maraming naging pagbabago sa Caregiver Program (dating Live-in Caregiver Program) ng Canada. Para sa maraming caregiver, nagiging sanhi ito ng kalituhan o kumplikasyon sa pagtatrabaho o pagsasaayos ng mga papel/status sa Canada. Kasabay pa nito, sa kabila ng mga pagbabago sa programa, patuloy ang mga problema kaugnay nito tulad ng pagkakahiwalay ng mga caregiver sa kanilang mga pamilya, at kawalan ng katiyakan sa kanilang kinabukasan.

Inaanyayahan ng GABRIELA-Ontario ang mga caregiver at iba pang kababayan nating nais matuto tungkol sa isyung ito sa isang talakayan. Magbabahagi ng impormasyon sina:

Mithi Esguerra - GABRIELA-Ontario
Martha Ocampo - Caregiver Connections Education and Support Organization
Dr. Jessica Ticar, PhD - Youth & Family Counsellor

In the past years, several changes have been made to Canada's Caregiver Program (formerly Live-in Caregiver Program). For many caregivers, these changes have resulted in confusion or complications in their employment or securing their papers/status in Canada. At the same time, problems related to the program continue to exist, such as prolonged separation of caregivers from their families and uncertainty about their future.

GABRIELA-Ontario invites caregivers and others who are interested in learning more about this issue, to a discussion. Presenters who will share info include:

Mithi Esguerra - GABRIELA-Ontario
Martha Ocampo - Caregiver Connections Education and Support Organization
Dr. Jessica Ticar, PhD - Youth & Family Counsellor
and Atty. Maria Deanna P. Santos - Filipino-Canadian Immigration Lawyer
