hi ,
I have a live in caregiver who has been working for me for one year....
I sent her application for work permit extention 2 months back but still havent heard anything.
What if she wants to travel???? The last day for her stay is next week.
If you applied for her Work Permit already she should have implied status until CPC Vegreville decides about the new work permit. (she may stay and work under the same conditions of her current visa until CPC decides about her work permit renewal).
They currently have a processing time of 90 days for work permit renewals with existing employers - though I am not sure if this timeline is also for LCPs.
Under implied status your nanny is not allowed to leave the country - otherwise she would not be able to keep her implied status and therefore wouldnt be allowed to work under her current visa. Please make sure she understands that. She can call CPC too if she wants to verify your information.
good luck!
