hiring Foreign Live-in Caregiver

[BCguy]

Thats OK in the Filipino culture,So She can try explaining that 2 kids share i room and the Nanny has the other room.Hopefully She will be considered

How can she explain it if there is no more one on one interview with the consul at the embassy anymore? i heard they have this SPEAK test system...what could be the possible option for them to know this?? and what are the chances of getting a visa in a situation like this??

thanks in advance..

Like BCguy says, if she is Filipino and the culture has no problem with brother and sister sharing room, then it will be no problem.  She will just say that she is getting a private room and the two kids share, that is if anybody even asks.

you don't get what i mean Leon.. the canadian embassy in manila has this SPEAK test system..its a computerized interview, right? all that's being asked there is about what they've learned in their training being a caregiver...so how will she able to explain herself regarding that matter(number of rooms)?? they will just ask the employer (thru a letter) to submit the floor plan to them via mail..and by submitting such all they will see is the number of rooms...seeing such they will think that the room is not enough knowing the number of people in the family..
Should the employer submit the floor plan together with a letter saying that the kids will share in one room so that the caregiver will have her private room?? is that possible?? wo'nt it affect the application? will she get a positive feedback??

thanks for ur help guys...

:m

[BCguy]

Thats why you send the explanation withthe floor plan

[mitchp]

yeah..that's what i said..but will it affect the application? will they buy that reason? what are the chances of getting a positive feedback with that explanation?

thanks again guys..
