Jun 16, 2025 - International Domestic Workers Day

When: June 16th (register for time/location)

Join care workers in calling the new Immigration Minister, Lena Diab, to demand the reopening of the Care Worker Program -- without caps and without unfair requirements.

Care workers look after Canadian children, the elderly, and the sick. Many have left their own families behind to do this essential work.

For decades, care workers have fought for permanent residency and basic rights -- and they won. But the government responded with a limited, unfair program full of barriers and a cap on applications.
