Mr. Amoryasked the Minister of Labour whether an alien permitted to enter this country to take up a particular post in domestic service is allowed to transfer at any time to other approved employment; and what arrangements exist in such a case for reimbursement to 26W the original employer of the alien's fare to this country and for release from his responsibility for the return fare.
§ Mr. IsaacsAn alien admitted to this country on a permit for domestic employment with a particular employer is not allowed to take other employment without the permission of my Department. Payment of fares to and from this country of an alien admitted on an individual permit is a matter for private arrangement between the employer and the alien. If the alien is permitted to take other employment, the original permit employer is, so far as my Department is concerned, relieved of any responsibility for defraying the cost of the alien's return to her own country, but I have no authority to reimburse the first employer for any expenses of the inward journey incurred by him.
