Not really, just last month a teacher from this forum received an invitation letter from Morden. And she's not a welder. :D

Lexis, was this refusal for a tourist visa for Morden Exploratory visit? I thought that once you were invited, you'd have a 99% chance of having your visa approved... That is disappointing! ???

I have decided to leave the LCP Program on hold and I'll wait for the outcome of my application to Morden, which is my top priority and favorite option.

Jig Nesh This is a special program (Morden Community Driven Immigration Initiative) and their exploratory visits keep going strong. :)

Required funds for main applicant is $10,000 and $2,000 for each dependent. (Oh, and enough for your Exploratory Visit expenses too.)

Hello, Sadia. I don't know if you have already made a decision about your daughter's situation. It appears to me you'd have to apply for an open study permit and I've read in a couple of different websites that children accompanying parents with a study permit have their elementary/high school...

Hi, Everyone! Like many of you, I've got my mind set on immigrating to Canada. ;D I'll probably apply to Morden's PNP program (in Manitoba) this week. I'm also expecting a final decision from a potential employer/sponsor for the Live-In Caregiver Program. In case none of these alternatives...

Well, I'm no expert, but I'd say that if you were married BEFORE ever applying to you temporary work permit and you lied about it, it will probably come back to haunt you. I mean, you'll probably have problems in the future because of that. Your agency didn't do a very good job telling you to...

I've wondered about that... I've got an expired TOEFL iBT (110 out of 120). I also have a CPE (Proficiency Certificate from England's Cambridge University), which is actually the highest level exam available, it's C2-level, rather than IETLS' C1-level. And, yet, I can't use it for immigration...

Have you found out whether foreign workers can choose to have their children homeschooled? I have also looked for this information, but everything is aimed towards canadian citizens (but they have access to free public schools, so homeschooling is just an option). Now foreign workers need to...

I'm sorry there was nobody able to help you, but anyway... It doesn't really seem to make sense that you were approved back then and 'disapproved' later on. Were there any major changes to minimum wage or any other financial requirement included in the program's process during those 8 months?

Exactly, it says there under Training Required: Training must be in a field or occupation related to the employment sought. For example, prospective live-in caregivers may have training in early childhood education, geriatric care, paediatric or geriatric nursing. The woman looking to hire me...

Thank you, everyone! I know there are different opinions and experiences out there, but I want to be aware of the full spectrum, so nothing surprises me too much... ;) Do you think it would be okay for me to take pictures, proof of employment and all that, even from before the last 3 years...

Congrats, Ben Apolo! God surely sped things up for you! :D I do hope now is His time for me to go as well... ;) Many blessings in your new journey!

Karen, the requirements are professional caregiver training OR at least 12 months full-time paid experience in the field (including six months with one employer) in the past three years. If you have been an aupair/nanny for 2 years already (specially if it's with the same employer), you should...

Someone just posted in the 2013 Processing Time thread that their LMO for Live-In Caregiver took only 5 weeks to get processed. Good news for us future nannies! :D

Wow, that is awesome! I hope they keep up the good work 'till the family hiring me gets theirs, at least... ;)

Hi, Everyone. Thank you for reading this! So, I'll start by giving you a brief summary of professional and educational background. I started working as a nursery teacher (infants) back in 2004. From 2004 until 2009 I worked EXCLUSIVELY with children 0-4yo. In 2009 I finished my Bachelor in...
