I would appreciate advice on the following.
I've been employing a foreign worker as a domestic housekeeper for almost three years. Her work permit will expire next May. I would like to rehire her for another year. Given the difficulties with LMOs these days and a $1000 application processing fee (that I surely wouldn't like to waste with a negative LMO), what would be a more assured way to obtain a positive LMO - trying to rehire her as a domestic housekeeper or a live-in-caregiver (which she would probably quality for). The only problem with the latter is that she would have to leave Canada and re-enter, and pass a language test. Her English is good enough to meet the basic live-in-caregiver requirements (call the ambulance, read prescriptions, etc.) but she is not sure she'll pass a formal test which they require in the Kiev embassy.
What would you recommend, given the current status quo with the place of the TFW program in Canada (which seems to be going to the dogs)?
Thank you in advance!
