Hi folks, We are currently in the process of sorting out the paperwork for a live-in caregiver application. There's a lot to do, but we have most of the paperwork sorted out now, and are just making final adjustments. One issue we have - the previous employer reference letter which proves the...

Hey folks, My fiancee and I are getting married next month in Lebanon. The festivities are happening in the country, but - due to our circumstances - we are going to do the legal proceedings in Cyprus. It's far less bureaucracy. My fiancee is a duel citizen - Syrian, and Armenian. We're going...

Hi folks, I was just on the phone to the Lebanese embassy in Ottawa as I am getting married in Lebanon in the new year. I was told that I needed a medical exam here to be able to marry. However, the embassy representative did not state what type of exam I needed to ask for aside from saying I...

Hahaha hey Anya! Hope it's all going well for you guys too! Glad you guys are going to get everything sorted too... one day we'll all celebrate together in the Cambie! And civil marriage? That would be rather nice. I did see a news report on a couple who managed it - but the fact that it had...

Something else that's just come up.... apparently I need to be Baptised for a Christian wedding in Lebanon? I'm not religious... but I believe I was "christened" back in England when I was a baby..?

She is Syrian but of Armenian descent - on paper she's Christian (as am I), although neither of us is particularly religious. In this case, I guess a religious marriage shouldn't be a problem then? :)

Thanks folks :) So I don't have to wait ages in Lebanon before marrying, that's great! Yeah I wasn't sure about the marriage license thing. I guess it doesn't make since that I'd need one to get married in another country and then not live in the UK anyway! Would be exercising a bit too much...

Hi folks, My partner and I recently got engaged, and we are planning to marry in the new year. Here's where it gets complicated! I'm British, but Canadian PR and live in Vancouver. She's got Armenian and Syrian citizenship, and currently lives in Lebanon. We want to marry in Lebanon, and then...

Thanks for the advice! What you guys have provided seems to answer most of my questions! It's just one big can of worms of information it seems! If I'm correct, I think I understand the process as: - Employer applies for an LMO (with name of prospective employee, payment, demonstrate 14 days...

Nobody has any suggestions? :(

Hi guys, I've been looking online through the huge amount of information on the live-in caregiver program. There's so much of it, that it's actually (for me at least!) completely unclear about the process of going from having found a person to employ, to filling in the various applications...

Once again, thanks for the responses. Things are getting much clearer. An issue which I can see is the "us living together" part. We've lived together since the turn of the year, but it's pretty unofficial. The proof we can provide from that would be a statement from her mother confirming it...

Re: I am a PR, my partner is Armenian-Syrian living in Lebanon. Marriage stuff.. Ah ha, so she can't get an open work permit? That would suck. So it takes a year to be approved as a couple and another year for residency? Two years, no chance to live together?! She can stay in Lebanon for a...

Re: I am a PR, my partner is Armenian-Syrian living in Lebanon. Marriage stuff.. Thank you for the responses, it has cleared a lot of things up for me. You guys are very helpful :) So it seems I should head back to Canada then. We talked today, and it seems the best option to test our...

Hey guys, So I'm a PR, originally from England, and I am currently living in Lebanon with my girlfriend. We've been thinking of marriage, and were wondering about a few things. So she holds Armenian and Syrian passports. However, her mother is from Beirut, hence why we're living here (her real...

Thank you for the advice. Her resume/cover letter are all in perfect English - we'll look into the agency thing then. Hopefully can get something sorted out. It's no problem posting your own ad on Kijiji then? We did one for Craigslist and it was deleted pretty swiftly. I guess there aren't...

Hey folks, I'm trying to help my girlfriend get a sponsored job as a Live-In Caregiver, or come to Canada on a Temporary Foreign Worker visa, but I'm having some trouble, so I wanted to ask you guy's advice. So she is an Armenian citizen, and is totally qualified for the live-in caregiver...

Hi folks, A friend of mine is looking to move to Canada with her profession. She is a qualified Doctor and has many years experience as a plastic surgeon. She has worked both in her native land (Armenia), as well as having experience working the same job in the United States. Now, she wants to...

Thank you for clearing this up :)

Hey folks, I'm trying to help out a couple of friends sort out Canadian Student Visas and I have a query... They are two sisters who are citizens of both Syria and Armenia. They have letters of acceptance to study at a business college in Toronto. They are both applying for Student...
