Hi tinytoes, Why are you asked to bring IMM5265?

You did not have enough experience and your training is more than three years ago. To qualify under the live in caregiver program you should have a certificate of training or one year experience as a paid caregiver with in the past three years. If you didn't satisfy any of these requirements...

No, as long as you give them notice. Check your contract as to how many weeks, months you should notify them you're leaving their employ.

How long is the contract? It's just that the form will not accept dates from the present and earlier, so write a later date. You can attach a letter explaining that your employer wanted you to start at such a date but you don't have a WP yet.

Change the expected date to a later date and give allowance to the processing time. It's impossible for you to start on Feb 1, 2014 (a date that's already past).

You can send your application to the Consulate General of Canada in New York 1251 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10020-1175 Check that your documents are comnplete. http://can-am.gc.ca/visas/work_download-telcharger_travailler.aspx?lang=eng

Have you ever thought of creating a spreadsheet and attaching a copy of the spread sheet with the application form?

Ask your employer to get LMO again and this time apply from outside of Canada. Explore the possibility of applying from the US. A lot have changed with CIC. Check if you can apply from LA. In effect, you'll be doing the 24 months all over before being to apply for PR under LCP.

No you don't need a job offer nor a contract to apply for an open work permit.

Okay. Thanks. Got my initial WP by crossing the border but have a TRV-W on my passport. This memo then will work for those who have TRV-V and who needed their initial WP.

How does one do it because there are a lot of people who are here on a visitor visa wanting to apply for a work permit. Is going to the border applying for a WP equivalent to applying "abroad"? Used to be that one can send Work permit/visa apps to the US but they have changed rules, so now will...

Note that if you are a first time WP applicant, your application must be sent to a visa/consulate office outside Canada. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5553ETOC.asp Who may apply for a work permit from within Canada? Important: The ability to apply in Canada...

Yes you need a TRV or what you call a re-entry visa; check your Work Permit, it will also have a terminal date of Feb 20. You should have to renew your WP first before you apply for a TRV or what you call re-entry visa. otherwise your visa on the new passport would still be valid only up to Feb...

You can pick up your WP at the port of entry, once you received your positive LMO. What do you mean by "we"?

Bring the necessary documents and get your WP. You must have a valid status though, like valid WP, student permit..

Go to cic.gc.ca => check application status => then follow the links. Follow the instructions.

No second medicals for LCP PR apps (Tejada Law), unless there have been changes again :)

Nope. Probably depends upon the bank. I know somebody was given CAD$4500 at initial app then given almost double the limit after a year. Wait a litlle though. You've been here less than a year.

If you were in Canada you could have sent your application to CPC Vegreville. Do you qualify under the live in caregiver program (certificate of 6 months caregiver training course or 1 year experience as a nanny/caregiver within the last three years)? If so then apply in the same manner you did...

You can apply for permanent residency after LEGALLY working for 24 months as a nanny/caregiver. If you change employer, there will be a gap in your work. You can't start working for an employer until you have a work permit for that employer. LMO application alone will take several weeks coupled...
