Sponsorship for nanny

[BA12]

So I have this confusion
I have a small kid and we issue an LMIA for a person abroad to come work as nanny for us 2 years back. Now I want to sponsor my husband’s mom for PGP. In the form I was asked is there a previous sponsorship - now is the nanny who is working for us - will she be counted as someone I sponsored or not coz I’m paying her to take care of our kid.
Also her family - spouse and kid joined us - so would they also be added as the people we have sponsored
What should I answer to the question? Have I sponsored 1 person or 3 including her family. Also have I even sponsored her?

Did you already get selected for PGP?

How are you sponsoring your MIL in the PGP when you only became PR in 2021, and only came back to Canada in 2024 ?

And your husband was just sponsored ?

And the pool being pulled from was created PRIOR to you even getting PR ?

Thread 'Residency obligation of a sponsor'

Jan 17, 2024

Hi,
I am a Canadian PR but I have been in India for a long time. My husband is on H1 B visa in USA. I want to apply for his PR through family class sponsorship. I am travelling to canada and will stay there for some time. I have not completed my residency obligation as a PR, can I still sponsor my husband and apply for his PR application. Please suggest

Hiring a nanny through an LMIA isn’t considered “sponsorship” under IRCC rules, you’re just the employer. Her spouse and child also don’t count since you didn’t sign a family-class sponsorship undertaking for them. If you’ve never sponsored anyone through IRCC’s family sponsorship program, you can answer “no” to that question.

When the form asks, “Have you sponsored anyone before?” it refers to family class sponsorship under IRCC programs (such as spouse, parents, grandparents, dependent children, or refugees).

Hiring a nanny through an LMIA is considered an employer–employee relationship, not an immigration sponsorship. Even if her spouse and child later joined her, that was through temporary work permits, not through your sponsorship.
