Hello all,
My husband and I are looking to hire an in home care giver to help us with our 2 kids. 4 years and 1 year old. He’s an engineer and I’m a just graduating doctor.
We are at moments in our life’s and career that it gets really challenging to care for our kids to the level we would like without being chronically exhausted.
we live in Quebec.
I have been doing research on the immigration website for the pilot program but the process is not clear to me. We want to make my husband niece come be our in home care giver.
And I got even more confused when I came to read on this forum.
This is the process I understood:
Get the company created and all that, post an add on guichet emploi and on two other platforms for 3 months. Then apply for an EIMT/LMIA. If it gets accepted, we give the job offer and a contract to my husband’s niece and she can apply for a work permit. and she will be able to come work for us. The LMIA processing time is about 1-2 months?
After 2 years of working then she will be able to apply for the residency.
Is this accurate for the Quebec procedure?
I see in this forum that the program is closed and will only re open January 2024. So i can get eveything ready (LMIA done) and when the niece waits till January 2024 to apply for the work permit?
Also, I see people saying that it takes forever for the procedure 33 months? What takes this longs? Waiting to be able to apply for residency? Or for the work permit?
Thanks a lot for your insight
