Hi to all,
I am working under the live-in caregiver program. I have a few questions that have been bothering me a lot.
I arrived here in Canada in March 2008. I didn't start working right away with my employer since their nanny has asked them to retain her service til August 2008. Out of good heart, they let her work til that date which left me jobless from the date of my arrival til first week of August. I stayed with my relative for 5 months and only started working on August after their nanny finished her contract. My contract with them is 2 years. My questions are
1. since i started working for them only in August and not in March, when is the start of my 2 years contract with them? is it March, the date of my arrival? or the date when i started working? Will this be an issue that i need to be worried when i apply for PR?
2. They are going to renew my contract for another year, do they have to apply for a new LMO?
3. I will be applying for my PR on October, do i still need to extend my work permit and work visa which will both expire on January,2011?
4. there have been changes under LCP, is this also applicable to the caregivers who arrived before this was implemented? specifically, the 24 months out of 4 years?
Thank you so much for your attention.. MAy God Bless us all
