Thanks for your responses:)) I really think this one might be tough... She had zero family, little money and basically nothing strong to prove she would want to go back home. Terribly sad:(((

I used to sponsor a teenager who was from the same City in west Russia as where my daughter was adopted from and have kept in touch with her. She is employed at a gold mine there and now 23 years old. I want her to come visit us in Canada for 2 weeks but fear her visa would be rejected as she...

Did they not realize this before they hired you? They should have asked you if you are able to carry or lift a 200 lbs person for example or do lifting duties before they hired you. It seems quite unfair to you. Look for a new employer but ask if you can stay working with them until your...

Thank you!

How do I calculate vacation pay for my live-in caregiver? I looked at the provincial labour website but confused. I gave her 10 paid days vacation a year as per the contract. Do I still need to give her 4% of her annual salary as extra vacation pay?

Thanks! In Ontario do I need to pay 4% vacation pay on top of the 2 weeks paid holiday I gave to the employee?

Yes, she has a valid work permit, she is from the live-in caregiver program. Thanks!

Unfortunatley I don't have enough hours for my Live-In Caregiver as my kids will be in school full time and will need to lay her off by the summer( with 3 months advance notice). If for some reason, she can't find a job, would she be entitled to EI?

Hi all, My caregiver's passport from her native country expires in October, does she need a new work permit/visa? Would I have to do the LMO all over again? Her work permit was issued Feb 2012, so it's not very old, but just issued in her passport that will expire.Thanks!

In ONtario it says en employer can deduct $85.25 a week for live-in caregivers room and board. But why are all advertisements saying $369.42? For 4 weeks, $85.25 a week is $342.

Here is the link with the 30 hours requirement. This is ontario,not sure about other provinces... The job must be full-time to ensure live-in caregivers can financially support themselves while in Canada. In some provinces and territorries ("provinces") full-time work is defined in provincial...

Yes, for Ontario, 30 hours is considered full time. I checked.

Yes, but the CIC website says Option 1 is 24 months of full-time employment or Option 2- 3900 hours ( within 22 months at minimum). So would 30 hrs for 24 months be full-time?

Anyone know? Can a live-in caregiver consider 30 hours a week as full time for the option of applying for PR for full-time work for 24 months?

I know that the program says that you need 3900 hours or 24 months of full time employment to apply for the PR. Is 30 hours a week for 2 years considered full time? I want to hire someone for 30 hours a week, but they are worried it's not enough to fufill the 24 months full time. I think that 30...

When you apply for your OWP and PR, are the criminal checks from your home country you used to enter Canada 2-3 years earlier ok to use with your application or do you need new ones?

No, would not be working for same employer as the contract will have ended. So basically, with no new valid work permit, but papers for PR in progress, one can't leave Canada?

Can one leave Canada for a holiday while their OWP/PR is in process? Or do they need to a valid work permit still while away??????

Thanks job_seeker, I am thinking this candidate is too much risk of not being approved.

If my candidate only has experience working as a caregiver/babysitter in her own country and references from these families, is this enough to satisfy the CIC officers? She doesn't have a relevant education, but took care of kids for a couple years in various families. I am worried that CIC...
