To Whom It may Concern: I am inquiring as to why your information located at www.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-other.asp for a live in caregiver class, applying for permanent residence, would suddenly change and add on 10 extra months waiting time? I am speaking on behalf of xxxxxxxxx, residing in xxxxxxxxxxxx. She applied for permanent residence on August, 2010 and has waited for 18 months and 11 days. When she went to check her status on Monday, it had jumped from 18 months wait to 28 months now, and she thought it was a typing error, and contacted me to help. When she applied to the Canadian government for this live-in caregiver position, she was told a completely different agreement, compared to what actually did happen to her. She had completed her live in caregiver contract/agreement of 2 years and was told she would get her open work permit 6 months later. That turned out to be 16 months later and after inquiries went out, suddenly received her permit in December, 2011. She has watched and waited patiently for 18 months now, for her AIP permanent residence, as well, and to suddenly add on almost another year is unacceptable, in my opinion. Can someone here justify why this has happened? I'm beginning to wonder if Canada lures these hopeful souls over here, to fill in the labour shortage with cheap labour and false promises and have these people end up paying taxes, to help fill the everincreasing void. How can this woman still be waiting in the system, starting into her 5th year, with no end in sight? How did this government expect her to take care of herself financially, with taking so long to even issue an open work permit….would you have preferred yet another person on the welfare system or applying for refugee status, just to eat? This is an overqualified woman (xxxxxxxxxx that practiced in xxxxxxxxxxxx), who gave up everything there, to try and better her family and move them to a country of promise and future. She's desperately wanting to work at anything now, contribute to society and eventually sponsor her husband and son to join her. I have helped find her employment with the Government of Alberta, commencing March xxxxxxxx, as a permanent xxxxxxxx. Don't you think the Canadian Federal government should step up and do their part now and fulfil their agreements with her too? Please respond in writing to email: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, xxxxxxxxxxxx. Jason Kenney's department never did respond.
Will wait for answer
