Hi,
This is my first time on this forum. I will be completing my 24months as a live-in-caregiver this July and need all the help and advice anyone who has applied or is applying for PR through the Live-in Caregiver Program.
My CWP expires in May. I gathered from the CIC website that i can apply for an extension. I also read there that i can apply for an OWP at the same time that i apply for PR. I'm not too certain about the right order of things and really need to get it right. I'm hoping to sponsor my child to come over in future.
Here are my questions:
1)If i apply for extended stay, can i still apply for an OWP?
2)I'm told that an extension of stay is usually for a year only, so what happens to me since the usual waiting time for PR is anywhere between 12-36 months?
3) Can i send in my application for extended stay now or do i wait, since the CIC website advises to apply at least 30 days before the expiration of my work permit.
Please, if there's any other thing i need to know,kindly advice. I don't know where to start and don't want to make any mistakes.
Thank you so much for your help.
