Hi Guys, So normally I ask questions about the live-in Caregiver visa :) this time I want to know everything possible about applying for PR from outside of Canada. Here is the situation. I came to Canada to work as a live-in Caregiver for a few months while I complete my degree. I will leave...

THANK YOU!!!

Hi, I am speaking to a possible employer/host family in Alberta. I am in BC. I left my previous host family a month ago and have been renting. I can not afford to rent here another and was wondering if I could move in to the house of future employer. While I wait for new work permit? I will need...

I am having no luck finding another family :( the Gods are against me. I am running out of time. One month left in Canada! Can I look for other jobs besides caregiving? What if I wanted to change my visa to a student visa? Will I be allowed to work on that? Will I need a lot of money for a...

I might be going back home :(

Hi , thank you. That famly didnt work out as they decided they wanted someone with drivers license asap.

Greetings, So I left the employer who I worked as a Live-in Caregiver for. I am renting a place for the next two weeks. My WP expires on April 19 (because my current passport expires May 19) they dont go beyond passport validity date even if I had two year employement contract. anyways...for...

Faithey I will say that 12months wait was MY unfortunate experience. And it is rare. Every caregiver I have spoken to ws in Canada 3-4months after applying. The wait for nannies from South Africa is not as regulated as Philipines for example. I think the education level will be recognized...

Hi, I am very new here. My contract with the family is just under three months old, so naturally I have not taken a vacation. There was nothing mentioned in the contract about what happens if they go one holidays etc. the written agreement is I work 40hours a week. They did verbally mention that...

So my host family has gone on a ten day holiday and because of this my own livelihood has dropped to half. They will also be gone for a week next month. I came to Canada expecting a more stable income. What is the correct expectation in this case regarding Caregivers?? Thank you.

Almost all the Zimbabweans I have known, are wonderful people. I hope you will be good to your caregiver :)

Things have become unbearable:( I have a prospective family in Calgary . Can I move there while I apply for new wp??? My current one expires in April because my passport expires in may. I have my new passport being couriered to this week. Please advise me.

I arrived in Canada two months ago on the Live-in Caregiver program. I am so unhappy with the family :( Let me explain.... 1. Upon arrival many things were changed from the original contract I had back home. Example which days I will work and overtime rate etc. (they will be no overtime rate)...

Anyways....I can handle most anything but I ant handle her mean spirit toward me. I am only here for two months. What can I do? I have searched but can't find another job? Is a live-in caregiver allowed to live out? Or work 30hours a week instead of 40? What happens if they terminate my...
