Hi,
I am a nurse in the Philippines and currently working in a BPO setting for almost 3 years. My family is in Canada an my mom already found an employer and wanted me to quit my job now and to take the 6 mos caregiving course so we can file for the live in caregiver program. I went to TESDA a week ago and as per them since Im a licensed RN there is no need for me to take that course and I can just take their Assessment and they will be issuing me the Caregiving NCII if I passed. The thing is I have read the LCP requirement and it is stated there 1)worked as a full time caregiver or in a related occupation for a year "OR" 6 mos full time training.
I have worked as a Staff Nurse for only 5 mos and that was way back 5 yrs ago or so. Then work as a clinic nurse for a yr and now currently working in a BPO setting as a UM Nurse. My question is....Since I don't have an experience as a caregiver and 6 mos formal training. Will I be eligible to apply for LCP? Needed your help.
Thanks
