But if you really want to get here WITHOUT dependents at the span of 6 months only and you have LOTS of money to risk, go ahead. There’s no guarantee that you will be approved in TFW tho. One person testimony is not enough
You are saying beyond what’s written in the law. You don’t make sense anymore. What are you saying; to come here without dependents and money and risk? What logic is it?

Then i don’t know how did they enter here as a caregiver thru LMIA earlier this year and worked in Maple Ridge.
 
Employers could hire a TFW caregiver overseas if they applied for LMIA prior to June 18, 2019. We have to remember LMIA is valid for 6 months. So they could have applied for a work permit at the latest Nov 2019. With pandemic delays to consider, it could have taken months to get a work permit.

Correct me if I'm wrong, workers have a year from date of medical to leave the country?

Also, in the Philippines, they have to apply for OEC and such to be allowed to leave the country. That's another few months of processing and delay.

So with all the delays, I won't be surprised if someone just came this year. Probably one of the last LMIAs processed for caregivers from overseas.

Probably. Wow, that’s 2 years of waiting for just a temporary work permit.

As of June 18, 2019, we’ll no longer process new work permit applications to work as in-home caregivers if:

  • you’re applying from outside Canada
  • you’re applying through the TFWP
  • you’ll be working outside of Quebec, and
  • your employer applied for an LMIA on or after June 18, 2019

I personally know someone whose work permit was processed Summer or Fall of 2019. LMIA was approved July 2019 (it was filed prior to cut off).

This person arrived in Canada, Summer of 2020

Hmm, it makes sense now. I was also surprised too when she told me that she came here with LMIA this year. So yes, I understand now that maybe she processed it 2 years ago. And with the Philippines’ corruption, it took her a long time to leave the country. Well, it happened to my cousin, she already have the visa sticker, but Philippines won’t allow direct hiring (my sister processed the LMIA and everything NOT the agency because it’s my auntie who was her employer). So my cousin paid an agency (THEY DID NOTHING) just to allow her to leave. Imagine paying an agency when you already have a visa sticker in your passport?! Just for formality sake, we swallowed our pride and waste money for agency WHO DIDNT DO ANYTHING.

That's very true. The employer has to get agency in Canada and the employee has to coordinate with agency in Philippines. Very ridiculous process

My lmia was approved on june 2019 as child care provider and got 2 years work permit in September 2019 and now my pr file applied under hccp
 
I am April 2021 applicant. As I have heared from this group that application submitted after 20th April 2021 has been returning back by IRCC, should I perpare documents for 2022. One think is considrable that I have not received any intimation by IRCC regarding return back of my file.

I tried to login but the portal was not working. I think nothing to worry. There are some issues on their side.
 
But for sure this is scary and CIC needs to address it.
