live-in caregiver appying for PR

[Jocelyn]

Hello! I have just completed the required 24 months employment as a live-in caregiver and I was about to submit my application for PR when an acquaintance told me that I could also submit at the same time the application for my children who are living outside Canada. Is this correct? I had thought that I am to apply first and be approved for PR before I could I apply for my children. But if of course this true it would be even better if I could submit application for my children at the same time. I just want to make sure this is correct before I do anything. Please if anyone could enlighten me about this. Thank you and advance HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Yes you can apply for children and your husband at the same time with yours.

hello emerjan. are you on your vacation now? just got back from vacation myself. all you need to do is to go to poea and get the oec. but don't forget to bring with you when you travel your work permit, employment contract and a letter from your employer that you are still working for them in case the immigration ask you for it.
