In Mary 2025, it was reported that migrant caregivers employed by IRIS recruitment agency is Quebec, Canada, were allegedly subjected to exploitative working conditions, including wage theft, recruitment fee charging, irregular work, and a lack of information and clarity from the company.

In April 2026, it was reported that nineteen of the caregivers have become undocumented after their Temporary Resident Permits expired while their civil claim against the company continued through Quebec’s court system. Advocates argue this shows a loophole in Canada’s protection of migrants who have been subjected to exploitation.
