Changed processing time for Live-in caregivers AGAIN

[jusbelle]

Hi fellow caregivers, the processing time for the live in caregiving program has been changed again. Last week it was 10-11 mos and the last weekly update was Dec. 29, 2010 and they are working on January 22,2010. And yesterday the last weekly update was January 5, 2011 but the date they are processing has'nt changed at all. They just changed the processing time to 11-12mos now. Crazy... CIC is not fair anymore, so for those waiting for their open permit this month it might be till next month or more who knows what they will do again. Plus the fact live-in caregiver are categorized under the least immigration category under OTHERS, hay...

 Im new here and i find this forum very informative.I just want to ask some querries regarding live in care
 program. im working here in middle east and one friend encouraged me to apply in canada under the said
 program.i paid her 3500 CAD and she provided me wth LMO and a contract from the sponsor in Canada.
 My work visa here in UAE will expire next month..she advised me to just send all my documents in Canadian
 Consulate in Phils when i get there..now what i want to know is how long will it take for the papers to be
 process? cause im afraid i might staying there jobless for a long time..and my LMO will expire May 27,2011.
 She advised me to send copy of my proof of address in phils so she can file for a change of address in
 the said LMO..im so confused now..a piece of advice is well appreciated..thanks in advance.

Dont submit your papers in the Phils. processing time there is 15-18mos, and they will ask for a caregiver training from u, plus exam for speak test, kung mas madali dyan sa middle east dyan kana or renew u work mo muna, saka kana alis pag dyan na papel mo. U have to sumit right away the papers kasi nag eexpire talaga mga LMO

   Thanks Jusbelle...pano yan walang Canadian embassy sa Qatar,i still need to send it in UAE and i read
   it will take around 10 months din ang papeles dun..im worried kc d ako pinapayagan ng sponsor ko na
   mgtravel sa UAE once i have schedule for interview and renewing my contract means another two years
   here.   Btw,i work as a nurse here in Qatar,hahanapan pa ba ako ng caregiver certificate? ive been
   practicing my profession for almost 6 years,isnt that enough para maqualify ako as caregiver?

Hi sa Pinas ka lang hahanapan pag umuwi ka kahit na nurse ka, pero abroad nope, tiisin mo makapunta d2 may good chance ka makaupgrade pag PR kana d2. Ingat lagi

hi soulkeeper,, just wanna add some infos.. if ever you'll process your papers in the phils., no need to present caregiver certificate coz you're a nurse..as long as you have at least 1yr experience you can apply.. but,, it'll take you up to 18 mos for processing your papers.. its true that you have to undergo an interview ( either speaktest or personal)..

  Thank you for the prompt reply..sobrang nalilito na din ako kc im worried hindi ako maantay ng sponsor
  ko kung ganun sya katagal..do u think its best kung punta ako ng hongkong at dun ako mgprocess ng
  papers?i heard it will take 4 months lng ang processing time. And one thing more,sabi nung kakilala ko
  i need to send her proof of my address in phils para mapalitan yung nakafile na address ko when they
  obtained my LMO kc my LMO was issued while im here in Qatar..Please enlighten me..thanks!
