Yes, siblings throw up a red flag to CIC.

If your case is genuine and your brother can convince CIC of the need for his sister to become his care giver, you will be granted a visa.

Should however, the application stink of 'caregiver to PR fraud', CIC will smell it and refuse it.

If you are genuine you will have no problem at all.
hi --- i have a friend who had a same case as you... she has a sister in Canada and for her to be there her Sister got her as Caregiver -- after 11 months my friend's application has been approved and she's now working there for 4years... she didn't encounter any problem... being siblings didn't become a big issue for sponsoring afterall...

As long as may employer na gustong tumulong (willing to wait out the time) makakarating sila dito. Marami kasi ayaw kumuha kapag galing sa Pilipinas kasi matagal daw ang processing pero gusto nila Pilipino kasi masisipag daw. Sa HK karamihan sila nag sponsor.

Successful completion of the equivalent of a Canadian secondary school education

You must have successfully completed the equivalent of Canadian high school education (secondary school). Because of the differences in school systems across Canada, it is not possible to give a precise number of years. In most provinces, it takes 12 years of schooling to obtain a Canadian high school diploma. The immigration officer assessing your application will let you know what is needed.
At least six months’ training or at least one year of full-time paid work experience as a caregiver or in a related field or occupation (including six months with one employer) in the past three years

To claim work experience, you need to have worked for one year, including at least six months of continuous employment for the same employer. This work experience must be in a field or occupation similar to what you will do as a live-in caregiver. This experience must have been acquired within the three years immediately before the day on which you make an application for a work permit as a caregiver.

To claim training, it must have been full-time training in a classroom setting. Areas of study could be early childhood education, geriatric care, pediatric nursing or first aid.
Good knowledge of English or French

You must be able to speak, read and understand either English or French so that you can function on your own in your employer’s home. For example, you must be able to call emergency services if they are needed, and to understand labels on medication. You will be unsupervised for most of the day and may have to communicate with someone outside the home. You can also read and understand your rights and obligations if you can function in English or French.
A work permit before you enter Canada

If your application is successful, you will receive a letter of introduction from the Canadian visa office responsible for your area. You will need to present this letter to the Border Services Officer upon arrival in Canada in order to obtain your work permit.


If you are qualified then look for an employer who's willing to hire you and file for a LMO opinion in your name. Once you have the LMO you can then apply for the work permit/visa.
