Care giver pathways

[Jaffery007]

You can’t manage your salary slip.
You’re working what we call under the table. There is no traceable salary . No deductions would have been made
CPP EI Income tax
You’d have to have your employer call the CRA and set up a caregiver payroll account and ask them to backdate the account to your first paycheque
Your employer would then be subject to pay all the employee employer payroll deductions and would be subject to penalties/ interest
That’s if it a Canadian employer .

If it’s in Pakistan you’d have to check with the department that handles payroll deductions in that country . I’d assume they’d have payroll deductions

Where does the employer live? There is no similar program if not eligible through skilled immigration programs like Express Entry.

As PSW / NANNY is not opening anytime soon for outside Canada people so we come with their Atlantic Immigration Program under which the main applicant will migrate with the whole family
Eligibility criteria is 1 to 2 years of experience
Diploma in nursing
Or training certificate in caregiver

30 positions available
PR in 10 months

AIP requires a job offer in Atlantic Canada with a designated employer. Does the applicant have a job offer already and is the employer designated in one of the Atlantic provinces?

Unfortunately we do see many instances here of consultants misrepresenting program requirements just to make money and also fake job offers in some cases.

Who is the employer in this case?

So who is the eligible, designated employer living in the Atlantic provinces? For AIP, the employer must be designated and shown proof that they could not find a PSW. So they are showing not nursing experience but PSW/TEER 4 experience.
