Nannies, strippers and farm workers threatened with exploitation in their jobs in Canada would be stopped from coming here at all by legislation introduced by the Conservative government.

The bill, which revives legislation that died when the federal election was called, would give immigration officers the power to say no to people they think are en route to jobs where they will be "at risk or vulnerable,"

Helena Guergis, minister of state for the status of women, said at a news conference in downtown Toronto this morning. The law would give visa officers overseas and immigration officers here the authority to say, "No, you cannot come to work as this person," said Guergis. "We have very skilled immigration officers. There are certain things they can identify" that tip them off when someone asking for a temporary work permit is going to a risky job.

In her role, she said, she knows many of those at risk for exploitation are women.

Guergis described strippers and nannies as among those the law is specifically designed to help. When the bill was originally introduced in 2007, by then-minister Diane Finley who said strippers were the main target.

This is HORSESH!T. Concentrating more power into the hands of one overseer (officer) to adversely affect your life will only make their opportunities to make mistakes and intentional malice greater. Giving more power in decision making to one overseer will only lead to corruption. I've already been told to bribe the immigration officer. (no thanks).
