One migrant from India has told SBS World News about his experience of being blackmailed into working without pay, for eight months. 

Cooking is the love of Indian migrant Karnvir Singh.

It was also his career of choice after migrating to Australia in 2007 to study hospitality.

Mr Singh's boss promised to sponsor him for a permanent visa in Australia under the Employer Nomination Scheme.

But later he would ask Karnvir to work without pay.
