hi. I just want to share an insight with you.. okidoki.. first of all, you have to really think of taking the caregiving course. I know that it will bring you lots of money when it is converted to your contry's currency but, you have to make sure that you can swallow any pride hidden wherever in yourself. Since caregiving here in canada to the worst case possible will transform you to an all around helper if you are not being careful. If you wanted to have a good caregiving job try to find for an american/canadian employer- their the best employers because they are straightforward and would not abuse you unlike other people, unless they see any potential in you that they can manipulate.

If you want to be a citizen here in Canada, you have to work for atleast 3years, and then you can have the Permanent Resident Card. Then only after 2/3 years more that you can be able to apply as a citizen. Most caregiving jobs here pays the minumum wage of around 8-8.75. But if you are lucky and have the patience to browse the web to look for employer or a sponsor, you can be able to find a salary per hour of $14-15.

try to look at craiglist.com..there are tons in there. there are tons in ontario that seeks for someone to sponsor, and i would recommend that province since their health care system is so good and they would not ask you to pay for any unlike other province. Also, if you want to look for jobs here in canada it is best to search directly at yahoo.ca....then it will lead you to lots of links from here.

Good Luck to your job search..take care

You do not have to work for 3 years to apply for PR.  You have to work for 2 years, then you can apply for PR and open work permit.  After you become PR, you need to live in Canada another 2 years then you can apply for citizenship (it's 3 year for people who are PR when they arrive, 2 for you because you were already in Canada 2+ years before becoming PR).

Ontario will not charge you for health care, that is true.  They do however charge you 8% provincial sales tax.  In Alberta, you do not pay for health care either and you also don't pay any provincial sales tax.
