Hi fellow live-in caregivers,
Please share your experience when you were preparing to apply for PR/OWP.
I am gathering the documents required to apply for PR and OWP under live-in caregiver program. I have some questions:
1. Do I need to provide double copies of passport pages as PR and OWP document checklists asks for this document?
2. In the Generic application for Canada, question 4: Immigration Office requested for processing this application. Do I type the name of the city/town near where I live where there is a local immigration office? I live near Kelowna, BC.
3. Which copy of the employment contract should I provide? The initial contract that was submitted to HRSDC, the latest contract that is still valid or both?
4. Can I pay the fees for PR and OWP in one receipt? $550 + $150 = $700?
5. I don't have any dependants, do I still need to print the Personal Details section in Generic application form and leave it blank?
6. Question 10 in Generic application:
Current country of residence : Canada
Status : Worker
From: Do I type the date when I started working ? To: Do I type the date when my work permit expires?
7. Which application form should I fill out for OWP?
Thank you in advance for anyone who responds to my questions.

I am gathering the documents required to apply for PR and OWP under live-in caregiver program. I have some questions:
1. Do I need to provide double copies of passport pages as PR and OWP document checklists asks for this document? as of me i followed both the checklist for PR and OWP checklist so i make 2 copies one for PR and one for OWP theres nothing wrong if they only need one atleast just to make sure
2. In the Generic application for Canada, question 4: Immigration Office requested for processing this application.mine i put NA but after searching you can put on what visa office are you going to send your application which is in CPC Vegreville
Do I type the name of the city/town near where I live where there is a local immigration office? I live near Kelowna, BC.
3. Which copy of the employment contract should I provide? The initial contract that was submitted to HRSDC, the latest contract that is still valid or both?send both as this will act as a proof of your 2 years of work as LIC
4. Can I pay the fees for PR and OWP in one receipt? $550 + $150 = $700? yes you can
5. I don't have any dependants, do I still need to print the Personal Details section in Generic application form and leave it blank? if you dont have dependents you can remove that section
6. Question 10 in Generic application:
Current country of residence : Canada
Status : Worker
From: Do I type the date when I started working ?yes To: Do I type the date when my work permit expires?yes
7. Which application form should I fill out for OWP?same form you used for renewal of work permit i believe its IMM 5710 and write open work permit on top of it also there is a section there that you can choose Open WOrk permit
Thank you in advance for anyone who responds to my questions.

Hi cutepinay and for those who can help,

For the above question, which for my situation is that I obtained my work permit under my first employer. However, before I start to work on my first day, my first employer, the father and mother, decided to spilt up and divorced. Therefore, they did not want to hire me. That's mean I have zero working hours with them, basically did not work with them at all. After that, I managed to find a new employer(2nd employer) and re-apply for LMO with 2nd employment contract sent to HRSDC

So in my case:-

1) Do I still need to secure a ROE from my 1st employer ?
2) Do I still need to submit my 1st contract during application for PR after the end of 2 years?


Thank you for your sharing and insight.
God bless!!

HI happy to help you .. wooohh lots of questions to be answered :)
1-you just need a copy of your passport for PR application and one for your OWP as you can see on document checklist.
2-you need to input VEGREVILLE ALBERTA as i know because this is the immigration office that you will process your papers
3-you need both contract of your past and present employer if you are adding the time on your past employer the contract that you signed before applying as a live in caregiver-just photocopy
4-jfor me i paid separately because of the document checklist -not sure if you can pay all and just get one receipt
5-im not sure about this form maybe call the immigration number just to make sure
6-that is right the validity of your work permit is the guide in this question.
7-IMM 5710 do the checklist


i hope this help you. it is better to call the immigration number to make sure if you have doubt they are really kind and helpful.

Hi Everyone,
I'm submitting PR and OWP application and I have a similar question to the ones i quoted above.
In my case, i am working for the same employer , though i had my work permit extended so got a new contract. My question is since in the Document Checklist for the PR application, it states that i need an ROE from previous employers, does that apply to me in my case?
My employer says i don't need one since i wasn't working for anyone before them.But i need to be sure.
Please is there anyone who was/in in same situation? Can anyone help please?
Thank you.

Julsen: ROE are only asked from all previous employers. in your case, since you haven't worked for anyone but your current employer, you don't need ROE...c",)

Hi everyone, so happy for the positive vibes here. Congrats to those who've completed their requirements to file for pr. Congrats natsy on finally receiving your open permit, hope u get back the correction soon. Just to add to what others have posted with regards to the ROE, no you don't need it if you've worked for just one employer. I only had one employer and I did not submit one. A ROE is filed once you leave the job. Keep the good news coming guys. Next step PR. Good luck to us all. :)
