Regarding the Employee Number. You have to call the CRA Business Line and request to open up a Payroll account for a caregiver. It will be a nine digit number followed by RP0001. Specifically request that this will be a Caregiver Payroll account, not a general payroll account You MUST tell the agent this, there is a big difference between the two
You need your SIN, address of yourself, how often you will be paying the individual, and the estimated amount /gross you will be paying the person over the period of one year.
If you do not have that information, you will not be given a number
As well you will be sent something called a PD7A. You need that to give to the IRCC showing you have been registered by the CRA and that you will be submitting all required payroll taxes to the Government
Btw, you need to wait 3-4 weeks for that PD7A, and No, it cannot be expedited.

I found this link with the requirements
I there does not seem to be any stipulations restricting relatives from what I gather, and reading other posts on it

Excellent information. Do you have to wait for the PD7A before you apply?

From my understanding, yes, you need that PD7A, Statement of Account to show you have been registered. It is the official statement from the CRA. There are two PD7A, one is a voucher used for payments, the other is the long form of registration. You need the long form of the registration. If you call the CRA, and register, request from the agent to put in a request for the PD7A long form for IRCC purposes.

If they bring their spouse and their kids, is there a proof of funds requirement for their settlement here? It's not that clear on the link - it only says you can bring your spouse and kids. Thanks!
