We sponsored a nanny in early 2016 right after the Conservatives put much higher restrictions on temporary foreign workers (which the live-in caregiver program is loosely attached to). We were advised by the agency we worked with that applications were now being rejected when room and board deductions are being indicated on the application. This was (I believe) a reaction to some news coming out that nannies and caregivers were being "taken advantage" of by the employer by deducting room and board. which is b.s. (my opinion), room and board cost real money, 3 meals a day, utilities etc. But politics won. Anyway not sure if the liberals are changing the way they are managing that.
