You are one of all nannies that use this site that it's really into do something about...Nannies from all Canada, come here, complaining, sharing time line, asking what to do but really? I believe that most of girls here have never ever emailed John Kenny about this LCP.

Why we are in this blog more than a year and we couldn't ever organize a protest? I can't understand it...I just can't.

Why we can't get together, in a day and time, and make a peaceful protest? It's not against the laws to express yourself...nobody will deport you or put you in jail for it. I'm in Vancouver and I talked with most 10 nannies until now...How much are here? I bet more than thousands...waiting for results but not into to fight for those results, just waiting...So wait more 2/3 years...That should be ok..

Hello Im also in Vancouver and never heard about a protest. How should we communicate? Im in in any activity you organize

I just want to share something that i read from another topic I didnt know we could send the OWP application online!! woow ! that would be much easier
What has changed?
Prior to 11 December 2011, caregivers completing the LCP were only is-sued open work permits after their applications for PR were “approved in principle.” This is generally referred to as “stage 1” in the PR process. The stage 1 approval process involves verifying whether a caregiver has met all the requirements of the program and has completed 24 months of author-ized work. The estimated processing times for stage 1 approval is 18 months.

Since 11 December 2011, CIC has decided that open work permits may be issued before a caregiver's application for PR receives approval in princi-ple. This means that caregivers no longer have to wait 18 months for an open work permit. The choice by CIC to issue an open work permit earlier in the PR process is purely a policy decision and is always subject to change. There is no law that requires CIC to issue an open work permit be-fore a caregiver's application reaches Stage 1.

What is the current estimated processing time to issue an open work permit?

CIC posts all estimated processing times for immigration applications on its website. As of 25 January 2012, CIC estimates that it will take 32 days for an open work permit to be processed when an application is submitted by mail. Applications for open work permits submitted online are processed faster- in as few as 13 days. Caregivers should be aware that supporting documents have to be in electronic format in order to send a complete online application.
Caregivers should also bear in mind that the estimated processing times are always changing. The posted proc-essing times are just estimates. CIC is not legally bound to process applications in accordance with the esti-mated times on the CIC website.

I am an August 2010 applicant and still nothing. I haven't still letter of Approval In Principal.
On April 18th 2012 my processing time for 1 stage of approval will be    20 !!!!! month (instead 17-18 month. what CIC writing on CIC site) CIC stuck on June 26th 2010  applicants and doesn't work for our applications

Kalinka we have the same issue. applied July 2010. received OWP Dec 2011, but until now I haven't received any confirmation that I passed the first stage approval. Called CIC and the agent said they can't do anything that it's stuck in June 26 for a couple of months already. Very frustrating

Let me know please if you will have some news, please
And me too

Hi all, I am new but I want to share something with you.
Just saw this message on facebook :



 i call the C.I.C yesterday to ask about the processing time of open work permit and they said the processing time of open work permit is 17-18months. and when i ask them about the new rules that minister kenny declared last dec. 15, 2011, that all application for OWP will be issued as soon as the immigration received the application. then the C.I.C agent answer me "NO" they just change the rules again, now you need to wait 17-18months for your OWP together with your PR.


IS THAT POSSIBLE THAT THEY CHANGED THE NEW RULING AGAIN    Can we all call our MP or call CIC to confirm ??

Hi All, I'm an employer of a live-in caregiver and am using her ID to post. First as a Senior Canadian I'm ashamed at the way the PC government is treating the LIC. I can't ... now...Please forgive our government
 I'm not a proud Canadian. It is beyond unfair. It is inhumane the way all of you are treated. The abusers may sometimes be the employer, but so it is the Government that allows them to do. I've read a lot of the posts many of you have submitted and it brings tears to my eyes, many of you have faith to endure the ever changing rules against you.
Allow me to suggest that maybe Mr. Kenney may not be interested in your feelings or situation.
I am ashamed to admit that I voted for the Conservatives last election, I will not be next time. You may find that the NPD who are not in the majority, may be more interested in fairness even now.. If many of you e-mail the NDP immigration critic..Don Davies MP Vancouver Kingsway  Don.Davies @ parl.gc.ca  and let him know the unfair treatment you may have suffered collectively, he may be able to put a little pressure to find out the truth..   If only the Live-in caregivers could form a union...
