Live-in caregivers: We can make a CHANGE!!! FASTER APPROVAL OF PR!!!

[xtalj]

Hi every live-in caregiver,

The processing time for live-in caregivers to get PR is now 40 months in total, three-fold of the 12 month in 2010. Nannies are facing as long as 5.5 years to complete the working and applying process to get their Canadian PR status. During that time, we can neither reunite with our family, nor get higher level education in Canada with domestic tuition fee. Is that the reward for all our hard work and sacrifice of being apart from our husbands and children? Is that fair that we suffer so much for so long with minimum pay to contribute to the economy, just to get the continuously prolonged processing time? IT IS NOT FAIR!!!

However, we can make a CHANGE together. The following is the Petition for all the live-in caregivers to appeal to End Delays in Permanent Residence Approvals: To Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Minister Jason Kenney of CIC. More than 700 people have already signed to support it. We still need more signature to make this happen. Please, live-in caregivers, for Yourself, and for Your Family, sign it and make a change of our fate.

Let's do it now! I'm tired of doing nothing but wait, aren't you? The processing time of our PR application has been extended each time when I check it. If we do nothing, who knows how long in the end we will have to wait till we get our PR. It's time to ACT!

Hey, all caregivers! We are in the same boat and the time has come to FIGHT for ourselves and our loved ones! We need to raise awareness among the society about the current situation when nannies are separated from their families and have to wait for a lONG time to reunite with their families.
I am going to speak to local MPs and I advise you do the same. The petition along with the voised concerns from the local governments and letters to newspapers and journalists will help. We do not have much time to strike as most of us are busy busy busy BUT WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF WE STAND UNITED!

Hi Russian Nanny,

Thanks for your support! I will do the same if I had time. I am having a surgery tomorrow and it might be cancerous. I've spend three and half years here in Canada, since I worked here as a nanny. Now that I might not be able to see the day that I get my PR , but I do hope other nannies can have the luck and suffer less than I do.

Applied for PR: Mar. 2011
Case in Process: April 2011
Open WP: Dec. 2011
PR: Will I even see that day coming?

The Minister Kenney speaks a lot about all-all-all programs and they are improving the immigration system and bla-bla-bla... Nothing about live-in caregiver, nothing, not a single word...

Please sign the petition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear all live-in caregivers! Pllease do not let rumors and ungrounded opinions shake your faith and your hope! We are here i Canada, and we have been here under the IMMIGRATION program. So the government must keep their part of the deal and grant us all PR as it was their part of the deal. Maybe all the other live-in caregivers who will apply to work in Canada will not have their chance to get their PR but the government must make amendments first. So basicall all of us who have already been working as nannies here WILL have our PR sooner or later. DO NOT TRUST ANY RUMORS ANFD GET FRUSTRATED!
