Eliminate the $1,000 Labour Market Impact Assessment fee to hire caregivers.

What success looks like

Elimination of the Labour Market Impact Assessment fee to hire caregivers so those in need of assistance can meet their family caregiving responsibilities.

Government's narrative on progress

In December 2017, the government eliminated the Labour Market Impact Assessment processing fee for some families seeking to hire foreign caregivers. Families with an annual income of less than $150,000 seeking to hire foreign caregivers to provide child care, and families seeking to hire foreign caregivers to provide care for persons with high medical needs are no longer required to pay this processing fee. This change targets support to those most in need of assistance to meet their family caregiving responsibilities.

Note: this is the government's own description, not an independent assessment.
