Live-in caregiver work permit-refused

[job_seeker]

I don't run a network for helping people Suffice it to say that I have been through a lot of hardships; spent sleepless nights and money dealing with immigration, suffered lots of stress and so I read and researched, and if I can help in any small way I can, I try to. I meet and talk to a lot of people, Filipinos and other nationalities. I ask questions and listen to their stories. I know an agency here in Canada who helps caregivers but only when they are already in Canada.

BTW, a strong justification from your brother would help your application. Ask him to write a cover letter. I know somebody from Alberta who had her employer write a cover letter explaining why she needs her services. Also as to income, they must be able to have more than the LICO plus your salary and additional cost of living expense when you arrive. As to the number of rooms they should provide a room for you and a room for the child and their room, they should have at least three bedrooms.

@ job seeker
Are you a caregiver by any chance?
You seem to know many caregivers..do you run a net work for helping people, in this proffesion, in soving their problems?

Thanks for advising.
What bothers me is that we don't have a care giver proffesional course like you guys do.We do have day care centres in small numbers but that is for ladies.I dont know if there is any opening in such capacity for males to look after children while elders are out.
Do you think that teaching at pre-primary or primary level will be counted as an experience for caregiver.At pre-primary(age 3-5),there is not much of a teaching but much of an activity keeping children busy with various activities including on -ground plays.
Have you seen some one coming on the basis of above mentioned experience?
i.e school's experience??

@ job seeker, kababayan pala kita. nice to meet you here.. asang part ka ng canada? thanks

@bob02, i think job seeker already answered your question for me.. goodluck to you.

 

[job_seeker]

I am not sure about that part, but there is this site in the web where it says: " You may have gained your training or experience in areas such as early childhood education, geriatric care, pediatric nursing or first aid." So I think if you are an early childhood educator then by all means your experience would qualify you as a "nanny" (dandy(?)) to your nephew (sorry for the pun). I know of at least one who's from Europe and her experience was under ECE. So if it worked for her, might work for you too. You'll never know till you try and apply.

Re: LCG work permit application/refused

hello
I read everything that you wrote, and I have a similar problem: I have a friend and former nanny, she took care of my first child before I came to Canada, like 9 years ago. Also she has three years or experience as a child caregiver, but that was 6 years ago. In the mean time she got another employment not in the caregiver industry but sales (she is even lucky to have a job in eastern europe )
well, I got the positive LMO for her, and she was refused for live-in caregiver visa just only because her experience was not within last 6 months prior to applying to visa. What to do next? Any good advice please? I am panicking cause I am a grad student and I need her to take care of my two kids now, I live in Saskatchewan, and to find somebody here as nanny is almost impossible.
Please help if you can?
thanks
Epp

One thing can be done...she may work for 12 months as a nanny and then reapply the process OR get a 6 month education in child care course.
I dont understand that why was a + LMO issued for her if she was not fit for visa? and how come Saskatchewan NOT have caregivers for babies?? what about day care centres?

 

[pandovska]

well, not that S does not have baby sitter, it is hard to find bilingual, and LMO was issued based on that - nobody eligible answered on my add for live-in caregiver, so that is when I offer her the job, and got the LMO (i had 9 moths od adds in local newspapers and on saskjobs website)
well - she might do that..reapply again..but that will take another year..anything else?

I think its better to wait then waist.
She can take a 6 month course in her field,as required by the law,and then apply.This seems to be the shortest way to me to fulfill the requirement of the law and then apply right after.Has she done any such course in the past?

Not really. Your spouse and children will actually be part of your "ties" to your home country.

MP- Member of Parliament is in Canada. Your brother could talk with his MP to help out with you WP application, but first hurdle is LMO.
