If she has the x-ray done while pregnant, the processing will proceed. If not, the app will likely be refused, as I doubt they will hold a work permit app for that long.

She needs to consult a doctor. I know a friend where she put on double or triple lead shields, during the x-ray, to cover some of her body to protect the fetus.

I find it puzzling that you would still be going ahead with the work permit knowing you will only have childcare for less than 9 months. Could be much shorter if there are problems with her pregnancy. Would assume there may be some concerns about whether she is a true candidate for a live-in caregiver when she is already pregnant herself. Depending on the province she may not qualify for healthcare fo up to 3 months if she is approved.

They are likely going ahead because she is a family member and the purpose of the app is getting her to Canada, not childcare.

The app will not be refused because of her pregnancy.

I assumed so.

Thanks for all your input.my answer to all of your doubts is that I had spent a lot for her application and was also devastated when i heard it but what can I do now?we are already in the middle of it.i work shifts and she would really be still a great help for our family as i need someone to stay with the kids in our house while we go to work or at work..we are here in Alberta so i think she’s covered from Day 1?thanks
