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...
