Hello Gals/Guys

I am here in Canada and recently received a positive LMO for a caregiving position. I do not have any professional care-giving course, but i have over one year's experience in Caregiving looking after my sister's two kids. According to CIC, they said that their may be legitimate situations where a person was employed in a caregiving capacity for a relative, so i want to give it a shot and apply. my questions are:-
1. Is there anyone on here who has ever applied for a work permit under LCP and used experience as the criteria to qualify (not in an institutional setting, but for family member, or friend?)
2. What sort of documents do you submit to the officer that you were actually paid for the job. In my case, I was paid cash, but still have copies of the receipts. Will this be enough? No tax was paid on this income because in my home country, no tax is paid unless you earn a certain amount ($5000.00) every month.

Any response that is helpful will be grately appreciated!!!!

If you don't don't have any 6-month certificate from a care giving course and no paid experience, it would be difficult to prove you w\qualify for the job. So are Filipinos now receiving more than $5000.00 (note the sign is dollars, not pesos) beofre they get to pay tax? WOW that's more than Php200,000.00 per month!

2. An ITR or a contract with an employer.

Hello Job_seeker,

I am fillipino by decent, Trinidadian by nationality, and Italian by marriage. Although, I dont think that matters. The point is in Trinidad, you are not taxed on your income unless you make more than $60,000.00 a year. Just wanted to clarify what could be used if no tax return in available. thanks for your input.

A letter from your "employer" and your "receipts" (from your salary?).
