LMO for Nanny

[canadacanada]

Hello,

I am looking to hire a foriegn nanny who is in Canada already currently working for another employee.
Since they cann't afford her anymore due to layoff I am planning to hire her as nanny to look aftre my 1 yr old kid.

Now the question is:

1. Do I have to immediately apply for LMO?
2. Can she work for me before LMO is approved in case i dont need a LMO now?
3. Is it like I can offer her job and signed a contract with her and she can work for me without LMO?

Any tips??

You have to sign a contract with her, apply for LMO then the nanny applies for WP. She can only start working for once she has her WP.

@job_seeker:thanks for the reply

How long does it take to get the LMO approved in Alberta?
Also, how long WP will take?

Thanks.

LMOs for caregivers/nannies are sent to Toronto. It's taking 12 weeks or more for the LMOs to come out. WP processing has improved. I think it's two weeks (12 days online) or 16 days paper app. as per cic.website.

We just finished obtaining an LMO for a live-in nanny. Ours took 14 weeks - ugh!

We are in Alberta, but like the previous poster said, all LMO's for nannies for the whole country go through an office in Toronto...
