Caregiver Policy in Canada and Experiences after the Wildfire: Perspectives of Caregivers in Fort McMurray

The main aim of this report is to inform policymakers and the public about live-in caregivers’ perspectives on the policies and procedures that affect their lives. The focus of the report is on caregivers in Fort McMurray, Alberta who are in Canada as temporary foreign workers. Results are based on two surveys: 1) a January 2016 survey of caregivers’ views of, and experiences with, current government policies and procedures (especially changes implemented in November 2014), and 2) a brief follow-up study with a sub-sample of survey participants regarding the effects of the May 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire. Issues affecting caregivers are exacerbated and exposed by the events of the fire and the oil price collapse. Full report online.
