hello,
I heard that the time to have a permanent resident after the 24 months of work as a live in caregiver is 6 .8. months, but if you have to sponsor someone in the same application, as a spouse in common law, it takes 18 months. Is it true?
Maybe to go faster, I can marry my common law partner?
thank you

Hi,

I have been reading another forum where a live in caregiver was able to have first stage approval and consequently the OWP in 6 months and another 6 months to obtain the permanent residency, this is for a single caregiver though. I just don't know the processing time for somebody with spouse/common law partner and dependents.

Can I ask a question? We started filing an application last May 2011. We are in a 22 months bracket live in caregiver program. I am the principal applicant here, my mom is the caregiver. She will get us going to Canada. However, the immigration started to process our application August 28,2012.


The last time we submitted the documents they required was December 27,2011. After a year, November 29,2012 to be exact, we received a notice through my email that they already required to have a consent signed by my father (allowing my two minor bro's to travel with my mom) since my parents are already divorced and an additional family info for me.

We sent the documents they needed last January 3, 2013. When are we going to have a medical referral/letter? 22months is coming and yet we haven't still receiving any notice from them.

Please send me a message regarding this query. or reply to this post. thanks! Smiley
