PLZ I NEED ANSWERS (EMPLOYER HIRING A LIVE-IN CAREGIVER)

[ZEINA.KHOURY]

hi,
1-What are the requirements that I, as an employer, must meet in order for me to hire a live-in caregiver in toronto?

2- I already had a caregiver who worked for me for 4 years n the gulf and I want to apply for her to bring her here to Toronto. She is going to apply from Abu Dhabi where we used to live few months ago before moving o toronto as permanent residents. What should I include in the cover letter to give her a better chance to get accepted? She is an excellent nanny and she also had few months training at the Nursery where i used to work but she has no caregiver training course (I dont think its necessary in her case).

3- Do I have to prove that she will be going back home after the 2 years contract expires?

4- I read on the website that the processing time for her application needs 12-18 months applying from Abu Dhabi (she is philipino). Does it usually take that long or would I be able to get an answer let's say after 8 months?

5- we are currently living in a small appartment (my husband, my 2 childern and myself). But ofcourse we will be moving to a 3 bedroom for sure after around 8 months. So can I apply for her now or do I have to move from now to a 3 bedroom?

sorry for asking too many questions in one shot...

She does not need a caregiver certificate because she has worked as a nanny before (her previous contract with you or tax return where her job description or duties are that of a nanny).

But you would have to advertise for the position. If no Canadian Citizen or PR or Live in Caregiver already in Canada applies for the position then you can file a LMO in her favour and once you receive a positive LMO you can send her a copy and use that to apply for the WP.

3- Do I have to prove that she will be going back home after the 2 years contract expires? No, LCPs can apply for PR after working as a caregiver for 24 months in four years.

4- I read on the website that the processing time for her application needs 12-18 months applying from Abu Dhabi (she is philipino). Does it usually take that long or would I be able to get an answer let's say after 8 months? Sorry, no idea as to the processing time in Abu Dhabi.

5- we are currently living in a small appartment (my husband, my 2 childern and myself). But ofcourse we will be moving to a 3 bedroom for sure after around 8 months. So can I apply for her now or do I have to move from now to a 3 bedroom? You have to have have at least three bedrooms, one for you, one for your kids (if same gender, otherwise you need 4 BRs), and one for the nanny. Read through the requirements from service canada and cic websites.
