Hey guys,
Need some advice on this.
Wife and I applied for the live-in caregiver program and found a nanny from India. The LMO was positive so we had her apply for her visa. The online application for the visa was submitted on April 22nd, 2013 to the New Delhi office in India. This is the response she received,
'Your application as a Live-in-Caregiver has been received in New Delhi visa office and is currently in the queue for review of applications in this category. If an interview is required, the date will be set in accordance with the place of the application in the queue for applicants in this category, based on the application received date. [size=10pt][size=10pt][size=10pt]It is not anticipated that a review will take place for 42 months[/size][/size][/size].
Applicants are advised to refer to our website for updates on the most recent estimated processing times for applications in the Live-in-Caregiver category: {{{There's a dead link here}}}
With respect to the possible expiry of the Labour Market Opinion from Human Resources Skills Development Canada, the employer may submit a request to extend the validity of the offer of employment. Once the request is approved, the employer would ordinarily provide a copy to our office. Likewise, HRSDC will also undertake to advise us if a confirmation has been requested and approved.'
1. I can't see to find the '42' months mentioned above, anywhere. Checked the Indian site and the Canadian one. I don't see any logic in waiting for 42 months as our son will have grown up by then.
I was able to pull up the cached webpage, but it doens't exist any more. Rather, we are redirected to CIC.gc. ca.
Here's the cached link:
go to google,
search for 'Live-In Caregivers. India: 42 months'. Copy and paste the way you see it without the single quotes.
You'll see a result for canadainternational .gc .ca. Don't click on it!!!
While still on google, click on the drop down box at the end of the link that you just saw, and choose 'cached'.
Here are the processing times on cic. gc. ca.
Go to the Canadian site, then
Home > My application > Processing times
See Asia > India
Can someone tell me what is right please? What are the timelines for New Delhi? I sent them an email but did not receive a reply and that was a month ago.
2. The link that was provided in the confirmation letter doesn't exist.
3. The LMO is going to expire next month. So I'm assuming we will have to extend the validity of the offer letter. Does this mean we will have to apply for a new LMO too? Or just send HRDC a copy of the updated contract? What should the start date on the updated offer letter read considering it's going to be a 42 month wait?.
4. Since my wife and I are very concerned about our son being able to retain his roots, we are tying to bring my sister as a nanny, as she speaks the local language and has been the main helper since his birth. What are the chances of the work permit getting refused considering the relationship of the applicant? What can we do to correct or avoid a refusal?
5. Can we use this thread to note the timelines for 'live-in caregiver New-Delhi' ONLY?
Would greatly appreciate some information.
