Hello everybody!

My Canadian relatives are more than happy to assist me for finding job or settling down with them, but unfortunately, we all know that getting a job offer is impossible if you are out of Canada and the joker card (PGWP) will cost a lot of money and years.

So, we are thinking about hiring me as a caregiver for there children then I can learn French and find suitable job for me.

Till here, it seems everything is leading to the happy story end. Unfortunately, after careful reading the official websites cic.gc.ca and immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca, the following issues are raised:
1. I am zero level in French.
2. I am not working in caregiver recently (I'm Executive Secretary now in UAE) but I have worked it before one and half year.
3. I don't have diploma or educational certificate related to this type of job where instead of that I have:
Educational Qualification Diploma, Commerce & Economics specialization.
Bachelor of Economics, Business Administration specialization.

What I can do now:
1. Learning the basics of French language.
2. Doing First Aid course which is internationally recognized.

What I would like to ask:
Your kind advice and help according to real experience if it's possible :)

Do you have at least one year of full time and paid work experience as a caregiver in the last 3 years?

Have they looked at the income requirements for sponsoring you as a live in caregiver? Do they meet them?

Have they looked at the residence requirements for sponsoring you? (They must have enough bedrooms in the house to accommodate their family as well as you - probably at least four bedrooms - possibly five.) Is their home large enough?
