You didn't say what province you are in. Each province is different but the guide says 24 months of authorized full time employment within a 4 year period by CIC. Seems to me if CIC authorized 30 hours a week that it would be valid. My suggestion is to call the CIC call centre and get them to...

Can your caregiver not work for you until she has the required number of hours in a 4 year span? She just needs to work 3900 hours within a 4 year period. What is all the fuss about?

In my case, my wife was not working. I combined my wife's father's old age pension with mine because he is living with us and the caregiver that I hired was to look after my wife's father. I am quite sure that you can use the total household income. Call CIC and ask them to confirm what they say...

Are you a Filipino?

The visa officer makes a decision based on the information supplied by the HRSDC Labour Market Opinion (LMO), the caregiver, and the employer. This decision compares the declared income of the employer with the Low Income Cut Off (LICO*) supplied by Statistics Canada plus the expected annual...

I don't want to tell you what to do. I only know what was told to me by other Filipinos who came through Hong Kong. Are you still trying to contact your employer? Do you have a phone number for your emplyer? If you do send it to me privately.

As far as I understand, they won't give you an exit pass in the Philippines so you can't get a ticket to Canada until POLO clears you. To get around this, I know of caregivers who had a valid Canada work permit, who flew to Hong Kong as a tourist/shopping and bought a separate ticket to Canada...

Hello all caregivers in Canada. I have drafted some notes on what a caregiver should do to change jobs. I am sure that I have left out some details. Just make comments and I will ammend this original posting. Notes on changing employer 1. Look for an employer in job bank...

My caregiver just received his caregiver work permit extension and it says on there that he is not allowed to come back into Canada if he leaves the country.

It took 7 weeks for my caregiver to get his 2 year extension which took him up to the expiry date of his passport.

My caregiver is a male as I mentioned in my post and sent the extension application a week ago.

I phoned CIC and was assured that an LMO was not required for a caregiver extension. I asked and received an email confirmation that an LMO was not required. My caregiver's one year permit expires on May 13th 2010 and he submitted his request for a 2 year extension last week without an LMO...

There is a possibility LMO's may not be required for caregivers who change jobs while in Canada. Everyone concerned should Email Alykhan Velsh and ask for this requirement to be removed. This is the person who is mainly responsible for changes in the caregiver program. The email address is at...

Here is the reply from CIC about caregiver extensions sent to my email and this clears it up for me: Sir, Madam, Thank you for contacting the Call Centre. I am pleased to provide you with the requested information: As a live-in caregiver, if you have been in Canada under the Live-in...

I think that one CIC worker from another CIC worker do not know what the curent regulations are regarding the necessity of LMO's for caregiver work permit extensions! I phoned CIC again this morning and the lady CIC worker told me that they don't need an LMO for a caregiver work permit...

I phoned CIC. They said that there is no public number for CIC Vegreville. They also said that only one year work permits are being issued for caregivers now and that an LMO is required for every caregiver extension. For me this will mean that I will have to advertise this Jan and Jan 2011 so...

Does this apply to caregivers? I understood that there was no need for a new LMO for caregivers working for the same emplyer. When did this change? Where does it say that on the CIC web site? I have sent a letter to CIC Vegreville asking if this is so. My caregiver got an intitial 1 year work...

Your new emplyer needs to submit an LMO. http://www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/work/caregiver/extend-stay.asp#change

It would be more effective to send a letter, FAX or Email to both Immigration Minister Kenny and your local MP.
