It must not be cited for the list of qualifying Caribbean Community occupations: it publishes agricultural workers and private security officers, neither of which is in the Act's First Schedule as published. It states that the Caribbean Community has thirteen member states. It publishes no work permit fee at all, only that one is payable by the employer on approval.
