They change it every month, wait another week or 2. Or else wait another month. Depends on the officer.

Hi Guys,

My status has been changed to Decision Made.

"A decision has been made on "wife's name" application. The office will contact "wife's name" concerning this decision."


I'm curious to see what decision they have made.

Nanny from Sri Lanka

Hi,
I was so interested in your post as we are also trying to take our Sri Lankan nanny to Canada. We are Sri Lankans who are Canadian permanent residents. Our nanny also like yours practically raised our two girls so we cannot do without her. We are also thinking of taking her as a live in caregiver but having the same problem as she doesn't have education up to grade 12. On what grounds was your nanny denied. Thanks,
