hi.i am applying for a live in caregiver.i am done with my medical last Jan 28. i am completing the requirements. would the hospital or center where i undergo my medical will call me or update me if my medical results are already sent to the embassy? Because based on the letter the embassy gave me, the panel physician should be named, the date when my panel physician submitted the result will also be given to them(embassy).i am waiting for their call. Another thing is i am also renewing my passport,because it also state that it should be with minimum of two years. my passport will expire on 2016.more or less its two years.thats why..plsssss...respond to my questions? lastly do u think after this medical how long does it take to have my visa? thanks much....

hello everyone ... i am may 23 2013 applicants i applied as single and i just came back from my vacation to the philippines and got married .. i just called cic and ask how to add on my spouse :) also i asked on what date are they processing now on PR applications under live in caregiver .. right now they are processing applications received on NOVEMBER 12, 2012... woahh that was fast the last time i checked they are only on april 2011 applicants last may 2013....maybe this is because of the speed up processing cic is now implementing to get their target or 17,500 live in caregivers will get their permanent residency this 2014 ...what a good neWS! and i also confirmed for those applicants with dependants back in your home country cic changed the processing that all dependants papers will now be process HERE IN CANADA... due to backlog of ppers in our home countries especially in the philippines... as i am reading on other threads some 2010 and 2011 applicants are not yet granted with pr becuse they are still waiting for the results of their LC2 applications back home ... so maybe to reduce the backlog cic changed it to process all the dependants here in canada and not in our home country .. i just forgot to ask if this will apply to everyone or just in later batch like us who will be granting future AIP ....lets hope and pray that this will work .. i already miss my husband all i want is for him to be with me here in canada... i hope all of us 2013 applicants will be included in 17,500 pr this year...GOD BLESS EVERYONE :)

Is it really true that all dependents papers in the Philippines will now be processed in CANADA? that is really an amazing news! I hope all 2013 applicants will be included in the 17,500 PR approval goal for 2014...Let's keep the faith and storm heaven with our prayers....Godbless everyone! To God be the Glory!

boyblue.. try to read this. this is the actual email sent by CIC to LC1 who passed PR batch sep 2011.. Im favor on this kind of process... This letter is in reference to your application for permanent residence under the Live-in Caregiver Program. Citizenship and Immigration Canada has changed the way it processes applications for Live-in Caregivers. In order to improve service and offer more efficient processing, most applications from both Live –in Caregivers and their dependants will now be processed in Canada.
We have assessed the information you provided regarding your application for permanent residence. For your application to be processed further, we require you to submit additional information regarding your family members, including those outside Canada. Please refer to the guide for the definition of family member. This information will be added to your existing application at the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville.
We have attached a Checklist of Documents for Dependants of Live-In Caregivers to this letter. This checklist outlines all the forms and documents you must gather, submit and sign on behalf of your family members. Failure to provide these forms and documents may result in the refusal of your application.
Only complete applications, consisting of all forms and documents on the checklist, will be considered for processing.
When you are submitting the required forms and documents for your dependants, please include a copy of this letter and the completed checklist.
The forms and documents for your dependants must be submitted within 90 days of the date of this letter (see date above) to:
Case Processing Centre – Vegreville
Unit LC2
6212 - 55th Avenue
Vegreville, AB
T9C 1W3
If you are unable to submit all of the requested documents you must inform us within 90 days of the date of this letter, explaining what you are not able to provide and why. Failure to inform us may result in the refusal of your application.
Forms
You will find the forms that are required on the attached document checklist at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/live-in.asp. For completion of the forms, please follow the instructions in the guide, but please note that you will need to sign these forms for your dependants.
If after 90 days we have not received the completed forms and supporting documents for your dependants or an explanation for why you are not able to provide these documents within 90 days, an assessment of the application will be made based on the information on file. If an officer cannot establish that your family members meet the requirements for permanent residence and that you and your family members are not inadmissible, your application for permanent residence in Canada will be refused. Medical Examinations All your dependent family members, whether accompanying or not, must undergo medical examinations before you submit the required documents. Instructions on medical examinations can be found on our website at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp. Police Certificates Your family members, 18 years of age and older, must obtain original police certificates from each country or territory where they have lived for six consecutive months or longer since reaching the age of 18. Instructions and information on obtaining a police certificate from any country can be found on our Web site at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/index.asp. The police certificates must be sent together with the forms and documents you are submitting. Do not send police certificates separately or they will be returned. Right of Permanent Residence Fee We strongly recommend that you pay and submit proof of payment of the Right of Permanent Residence Fee with the complete application. By doing so, it will reduce the processing time of the application. For further information on how to make a payment, visit the Pay the Fee section in our instruction guide: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5196ETOC.asp#pay-fee Mode of Communication
A current email address where you can be easily contacted should have been included on your application for permanent residence. CIC will communicate with you using this email address. Should communication with our office be possible only by regular mail, this should be indicated in a cover letter accompanying the application. All contact with our office should be via the email address you have provided on your application unless otherwise instructed.
This letter has been system generated and has been sent to the most recent address available for your file. This means that if you have authorized a representative to act on your behalf or if you have changed your last known mailing address without notifying Citizenship and Immigration Canada, it is possible that this letter was not sent to the correct mailing address.

This document checklist outlines the forms and documents you must gather, where applicable, sign and submit for your family members.

The forms can be obtained at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/live-in.asp .

You are responsible for the truthfulness of all of the information on the forms you submit.
Gather the documents for your dependants in the order of the checklist and check each item. Attach small items such as photos with a paper clip, otherwise leave documents unbound. Place all documents in a sealed envelope.
If your supporting documents are not in English or French, they must be accompanied by the English or French translation completed by a certified translator and a copy of the original document. Do not send any additional documents when submitting your application to the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville.
Note: If your submission lacks any of the documents listed in this checklist, your application will be processed based on the information on file. If an officer cannot establish that your family members meet the requirements for permanent residence and that you and your family members are not inadmissible, your application for permanent residence in Canada as a member of the Live-in Caregiver program will be refused.
If you are unable to provide any of the requested documentation, please provide a written explanation with full details as to why that documentation is unavailable and any documentation that would support your claim within 90 days of the date of this letter. Failure to provide supporting documents may result in the refusal of your application.

Wow thanks, this is great news...actually I'm the dependent..We have the same situation, my wife is the main applicant..She went home last year for 2 months and we got married. She already included me in her PR application and we are still waiting/hoping for cic's email asking for these documents(medical exam, etc..)... looking at cic's processing time of 39 months is really depressing, but this news is pretty uplifting...

She passed the application last May 2013 and got a reply last June 2013..she got her OWP last Sept 2013..we just keep on praying and believing that God already answered our prayer....we have a friend she got her PR last December 24, 2013 and it took only 1yr and 9 months for her but she's single and she applied Feb 2012, that was before they announced they will hasten the processing time for the Live-in-Caregiver program...so maybe it will take fewer than that for our PR applications to be approved...thank you for posting those infos, it means a lot..it's really uplifting...

oh wow galing same here i am May 23 2013 how about her what is here date?? can we do frequent updates of our papers so we can have a timeline .. :) ill messge you when i get my aip ..you know what i am really praying that me and your wife will get our AIP i am calculating around september or october this year and hopefully after that you guys get the lc2 kit maximum time of December 2014 and PRAYING that hopefully by nextyear we can get you here in canada... me and my husband believe in that too God is so good to us that i know he is making way for us to easily finish our papers.. after knowing that CIC announced that they will speed up the processing thhis year and promised to lessen the processing time from 3 yrss to to 2 years unlike the others who waited so long ,our application will be 2 yrs in May 2015 but still i am giving them atleast a timeframe of may 2015 - december 2015 for us to get our PR ..so hopefully nextyear you guys are here na lets pray pray pray ....

and yeah i think me and you wife have the same thinking thats why we decided to get married ... yes it is true processing for SINGLE applicants is much faster BUT if like us who have someone that we will surely going to marry and soon sponsoring here in canada after we get our PR..for me this is the best move to get married and add you guys in PR applications .. because it is much easier adding you guys ..than getting our PR as single yes it is faster but again the process of going home and back here to apply for spousal sponsorship for you guys will also take about 1-2 yrs maximum ..so i thought its like the same thing ..atleast adding is not as complicated process in spousal sponsorship where in show money etc are required. ..
