Thul Did you get the caregiver extension yet?

Go to your memeber of parliament and ask for help to get the visa approved. My brother in law was refused twice from the Philippines. I applied to my MP and the visa was granted but the fee was $200 for recertification of Temporary Visitors Visa. They will need private medical insurance before...

I called HRSDC and I was told that the expiry date on the LMO is not used anymore. Because of the economic situation an LMO is needed for every extension, yet when I called CIC, they said LMO only required when worker applies to a new employer. Confusing isn't it?

The employer just signs the contract adendum with the 4 extra requirements and they notify POEA to issue the exit permit after the worker takes the seminar. In other words, POLO just extracts more money from the employer for the Philippine government. Read about my recent POLO experience in...

thul I am new at this. I do know from the CIC web site that the caregiver can continue to work legally with you until a decision of the extension request is received from CIC. I phoned CIC last week and they said that a new LMO was not required for an extension. I also phoned HRSDC in Vancouver...

OK BC Guy. I don't want to argue with you. I will contact the labour dept and ask them how they will verify that the new requirements will be enforced in conjunction with POLO, Labor DEpt and CBSA. I personally don't think the new requirements will be enforced any more than the old ones were...

I just found Operational Bulletin 025 – January 3, 2007 at this web address: http://www.cic.gc.ca/EnGLIsh/resources/manuals/bulletins/2007/ob025.asp which to me says that a caregiver applying for an extension for a work visa with original employer does not need a new LMO and can apply for the...

BC Guy I beg to disagree with you. The provincial governments did not authorize POLO to collect fees from employers. Please post a copy of the agreement on this web site or a link where evryone can read the agrement. Also you did not explain how POLO is going to enforce the four adendums to the...

I am a Canadian married to a Filipina. My wife's brother applied for a visitors visa AKA Temporary Foreign Resident and was refused twice. He has an excellent job as a salesman with Spandex Corp and lots of money in the bank. I wrote an invitiation letter showing proof of giving adequate...

thul: Did your caregiver have to submit a new LMO and contract with the extension application?

Re: LMO Required to extend contract with same employer? Monina: I know about your references except the worker manual. Thanks.

I am a Canadian living in Interior BC. After HRSDC, CIC and POLO processing which took over 2 years, a caregiver has just arrived at my home but not after more hassle form the POLO office in Vancouver which I consider another scam and illegal as far as I am concerned. When my caregiver...

POLO is a Philippines office in Vancouver, BC. They are asking employers to sign an addendum to the contract and collect $41.75 from Canadian employers. Wait until my member of Parliament hears about this!. They have no jurisdiction in Canada! If extra requirements are needed on a contract, it...

The caregiver that I hired from outside Canada and is with me now was given a one year work Visa. My question is: Will I need to submit a new LMO for him to apply for an extension. Can he ask for a 18 month or 2 year extension? Will CIC Kelowna accept his extended application or does it have to...
