Working in Hongkong as a DH then applying as a caregiver in Canada

[lyvly]

I applied in person May 24 and got my visa aug 18.. way back 2008 backwards work visas were issued in juz a month..there has been really a lot thats going on ryt now regarding immigration issues.. Longer waiting time for PR is d biggest issue.. I recommend u girls should always check cic for updates and prepare urselves for these changes..gudluck to all..

[lyvly]

I left 2008 i meant d earlier yrs when canada welcomed immigrants,,anyways..wat matters is d present,,.they set a target of admitting immigrants..there's even this so called speak notes( @ cic wbsite for
D house of commons) suggesting that LIC program is a scrap..hope u girlz wont mind comin here disregard all d problems being face by LICs.. Canadians need LICs!!

Hi Livly:

Thank you for the advice. I just want to ask how long did it take for you to get a response from the Hongkong Embassy when you applied for the visa? I am applying for TWP since August. Thank you for  your input. Looking forward to hearing from yoU!

I am planning to work in hongkong as Dh/caregiver. if i ever make it there would my employer allow me go out and process my documents for canada? What f they will only allow me to go out on my day off and it happens to be sunday? What would be the best thing to do?

hi girlz,jus want to share my experience..,there r some employers here in canada who hire LICs ahead of time...some 3 months or some even a year but mostly as soon as possible... WWWdotJOBBANKdotGdotCA.. just be patient coz there are a lot of agencies online.. i think finding your own employer will save you so much money instead of going thru local agencies there in HK who makes ur pocket  empty..Most of the nannies i met here they paid CAD3000 bucks or more....while in fact,,u only have to pay ur visa fee ,medical and police clearance.. i processed my visa by my own and that alone had saved me 2000HK..I had no way of getting out of my employers house during the weekdays bcoz i have PoPo and KongKong who luks after me,all of my moves... i juz kept in my mind IF THERE'S A WILL,THERE'S A WAY"...lolz...im not perfect but i had to lie to my employers...(i told them i had an appointment at d phil. consulate and need to sign some important papers,she gave me 2 hours to get it done!i was from YUEN LONG and my KongKong even wanted to go with me!!!it was that hard..)!anyways,,i got my own mailbox at a nearby postoffice where they mailed my passport with visa and all the original documents./. so each time i stare at my P.O. Box key,,i feel so blessed..lolzz..

good day! i'm new here. I went for an interview yesterday morning at the canadian embassy here in thailand and my application for a work permit has been refused because of the following reasons:
    1. i don't have a successful completion of 6 months of full-time training in a classroom setting, in a field or occupation related to the employment for which the work permit is sought. the course must be completed as  part of formal education taken at an educational institution accredited by the local educational authorities.
    2. i don't have a completed one year of full-time paid employment, including at least 6 months of continuous employment with one employer, in such a field or occupation related to the employment for which the work permit is sought within 3 years immediately before the day on which i submitted an application for a work permit.
    I had been employed as dh in HK 12 years back taking care of a 2 year old girl. i have been teaching here in thailand for 3 years. i have everything LMO contract all documents except the 2 requirements stated above. my point is, do i need to come back to the philippines and  take the course for caregiver or  shall i apply as DH in HK this year.i am puzzled. any thoughts, ideas and experience you share will enlighten me. thanks.

Hi,

Hello. I just wanna ask if I really need to complete a ONE YEAR experience here in hongkong before filing my application here, but the website said it should be ONE YEAR talaga. I already taken up a 6 months caregiver course and I'm just confused because some say that you can file your application even though your only 6 to 8 months here in hongkong. I'm already working here for 2 months na. please enlighten me. Thanks.

hello...
if ever that your day off is sunday and the consulate is closed then u can ask for an agent assistance...they will not charge big amount for representing your application....
