Visitor Visa to Live In Nanny

[Miletski05]

Hello, I have a cousin who is already here in Canada on a Visitor Visa. We are wondering if we can process a Live In Nanny Visa for her (under Temp Foreign Worker) so we could issue her an LMIA. We are wondering if it is possible.

Thank you!

If you live in Quebec, yes.

All other provinces, no. She goes through HCCP program which opens and closes on January 1 each year based on quota. She needs to be eligible with processing at about 36 months.

If you live in Quebec you will still need to qualify for an LMIA yourself and also prove that you can afford to pay the expected rate for a nanny and the deductions and holiday time. Your cousin would have to show that they have a work and education history that would qualify them to work as a nanny. There will be additional processing requirements as a Quebec applicant. This is likely a 6+ month process with no guarantees of approval.
