Live-in caregiver PR applicants for April,May and June timeline

[ying888]

@ ying888-got the same problem. Yours is little bit better because you can reach your employer and can make changes in your papers. My employer did not give me ROE. She moved to other province. I worked atleast14 hrs from 530 in the morning. She gave me T4 for the first year but not the following year. But I was smart enough to file my taxes through HR block with all the records I logged. I think they were been audited because I filed my income tax. But my Roe, she promised me up and down that she will give it to me. I can't count the months I worked with them to apply PR that time. I lacked 3weeks to apply PR. almost started the program again if not because of the changes last April 2010.I'm 5 yrs here in Canada still live in caregiver.

Sarah, this is sad and makes me angry.Five years ! how many five years can a person have , and the processing time make us be a livein caregiver longer, it 's gonna destroy the life plan.
yes, I worked from 5:30am too, her husband was out of the country a lot, she was on 12 hour shifts. I used to work on statutory holidays more than 13 hours, the hours was her hours out of home ,but when she got home , I still worked, I had 3.5 days off every 8 days , but seldom had days off. My friend adivised me to tracked my working hours, I didn't do that, because I didn't expect I would have had to quit and complain to the government. Because I didn't want to change employers , and that made her treat me worse and worse. at last I could not stand her any more , I had to quit.
My new employer makes my papers very very clearly , and this April I can finish my 3900 hours , but according to documents from my former employer , I have work till July .
And now I am thinking I would apply according to OPTION 2, she didn't give me the papers that CIC requires , she didn't pay me very well but short the length of my employment with her , that's not my fault.

I also wonder why we dont do some actions to tell our deplorable and abusive situation ,just wait and see the processing time longer and longer, don't you guy think that it's another kind of abuse?
If one person , the voice is so weak , but if we all get together and strive for ourselves , it may make our situation better.
we work hard , we should not deserve this.

I hope everyone put the idea here and let do something for ourselves.

hi guys! i emailed the Migrante canada, an organization that help foreign worker, they said that we can ask them on whatever help we needed, so what can you say about it? that is a good opportunity for us to reach out and voice out our needs right

Thank you, Rosellyalung! Thank you for doing that for all of us.

I think that we should tell them about these payment-paper problems that cause a lot of other problems. I think that the government should make the employers give the caregivers payslips from day one. This just has to be mandatory. We shouldn't wait till we get these T4 slips that don't really show anything. If the employer-caregiver relations are put into strict paper frames, not just personal relationship, the caregivers will see the employer's real face in two weeks after the beginning of her work, not when the time to file the taxes comes. Besides, the employers can be just not well organized or a bit stupid people, so if all the work-payment process is under strict control and transparent for the caregiver, it makes it easier for both sides.

@ oksy-that's a good idea. But in my opinion, and my opinion alone, right now it does not really help having payslip and record logging that much to claim hours in filing PR. And let's face it, this is what we cares the most, other than our safety in our workplace. The CIC cares for ROE and t4 mostly. I had logged my hours and had payslip, given cheque biweekly.my employer did not give me t4 and roe. The payslip and my bank records helped me to file my taxes but I can not claim my work with that employer to apply PR because I have no ROE. called CRA my employer got audited because I filed taxes and she did not. I asked lawyer's help and showed the hours I worked with my employer but she said it does not matter because we need to complete CIC requirements. Payslip and record logging can definitely reduces problems but where will we go after that? Does CIC cares about this? Will they look at it? Will this gives worries to caregivers and employers if they won't comply to it? This payslip,cheque,and record logging should be another options or requirements to claim hours for PR so caregivers and employers will give importance on these. If there is papertrail it's unlikely to have this much problems. Unless CIC changed that this abuse will not stop.

Any new update yet?

Any new update yet?

@lyne- no update yet.

@oksy- I just want to correct what I said to my previous comment. CIC cares about the timesheets signed by the employer, (option 2 of the PR requirement) The case I was stated was before the changes were made. I just realized that. I apologized.

Is great that you are trying to make a diference. Since i became a LC i have noticed that there are a lots of abuses going on for me and many of the girls.
Is there a canadian organization that helps LC? if so i would like to join and help girls and let them know they are not alone!
I try to fight for me everyday, saying NO when i want to, not doing all they ask, no working during my breaks, etc. We all should do this and not let this people do whatever they want with us.
Let's say NO TO THIS MODERN SLAVERY!!
