    I just wanted to share my experience. May be it will be useful for somebody else with the same problem. I just did my urine test and I was asked to repeat it due to high level of protein. Doctor said in 99% of the cases it means nothing and no worries. 1% though is that it might be the sign...

    Live-in Caregiver: after applying for PR

    This is what I got from immigration lawyer: You can apply to change LIC employers and this would probably be granted. You can always apply to make other changes such as live out caregiver that they may grant, or another job but they may not grant the work permit. This is the answer from...

    NEED ADVICE PLEASE!

    From my own experience: DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU! Make sure you have all your papers , you work legally and so on. You do not need troubles with your paperwork. Even if your current employer says that on the paper it will look like you worked for one employer. They are canadians, and they will...

    Live-in Caregiver: after applying for PR

    Theoretically i think we can try to find another job, but it would probably be hard to get LMO and another work permit (while waiting for an OWP). LMO might take same 6-8 months to issue. Vacation or unemployment could be an option. But you have to be very careful. I contacted immigration...

    Re: live-in caregiver applied for open work permit, can get specific work permit But I can not find anywhere where it says that you HAVE to work as live-in caregiver while you are waiting for the results. Plus as IO said that processing stops if you are unemployed or on vacation. Which means...
