It was big news in 2009 about a Vancouver nanny agency, but they can always say the money they charged is for processing whatever... anyway once in Canada, caregivers are not charged anymore if they changed employers. Employers pay the agencies.starzibal said:

Totallymomy,
Don't give up just yet. There IS an agency in BC, near Vancouver, that will put you in their database, after you fill in different forms and such and then they'll contact you when they have someone interested in you. They don't charge any money from you. They only charge the families and that when it works out.
That's how I made it here, and they're awesome!
Try it!

That is good news! Because agencies actually charge exorbitant fees. Great help for people who want to come to Canada under the live in caregiver program. Is it okay to post the name of the agency? Thanks much.

Hello Carmen,
Thank you so much for your post, it gave me hope
Yes, I am not giving up for I know there will be ways.. I keep the faith coupled with hard work I know
I will reach my goals.
Same question with job_seeker, what's the name of the Agency? it would be very helpful and good to know that at least there is still
one that follows the rules.
Hoping to hear from you again.

You might find the answer the you question here:

You can see at http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/eng/workplaceskills/foreign_workers/advertReq/wageadreq.shtml what is the minimum wage you have to offer and what you can charge the person for room and board. You would also have to act as an employer, withholding taxes, CPP and EI from their wages, giving them pay slips every pay check and a T4 at the end of the year.
Hi, totallymommy... I'm so sorry i haven't responded sooner. I hardly read this forum. The name of the nanny agency is abcnannies.com (their website). I hope this isn't too late!totallymomy said:Hello Carmen,

Hi Celo,
As what I have read from other forums, posted by other caregiver applicants.
Some of them passed their NBI and passport the same time they took their med exams.

Tanong ko lang kung kailangan na" ISSUED FOR TRAVEL TO CANADA "ang nakalagay sa valid NBI Clearance na i re-submit ulit or pwede rin kung "ISSUED FOR TRAVEL ABROAD".. yung kasing unang na submit na NBI clearance sa Embassy kasama sa application nuong Dec.2008 ay nakalagay na for travel to canada..please reply..Thank you
Another member posted this agency's name: abcnannies.ca Try applying through them. I was informed they don't charge any fees from a caregiver.janro1026 said:
Note though that as a nurse you can only apply for elderly care. But once you are in Canada, you can change employers and work with kids if that is your preference. You may have a less chances at landing work with nursing homes since there is no "lack" of carers in Canada.
