Yes, your employer can be blood related to you as long as they pay the employee and have a job offer to complete the document checklist for the pathway HCCP or HSWP. This information is actually in their website. Work experience (part-time/full-time) while studying full-time is not considered...

My friend applied in January 2020 and just got her AOR in September 2020. Paper based application.

Not sure what you meant about "acceptance letter to initial application", are you referring to AOR (acknowledgment of receipt)? If yes, you can get AOR as soon as you apply for PGWP (online) and it takes 6-8 months for Home Support Worker Pilot (at this time; paper based) then 12 months of...

Yes, if you were unemployed you have to include that too.

The only employers not considered are embassies and consulates -- this is true and must be outside Quebec since they have their own rules. However, long term care and hospitals are not eligible for the pathway as stated in the noc code: 4412 – Home support workers, housekeepers and related...

I contacted them weeks before the lockdown/restrictions happened. Yes, I'm in Canada and contact them through phone most of the time. If you send a webform they usually reply 3-5 business days.

Thanks again Twinkleberry! I have confirmed from a CIC agent that working for an agency is eligible as long as you meet the requirements for the Home Support Worker Pathway and I noticed that in the offer letter you can add all the clients you've had while completing the 24 months experience.

You can't take or apply for any course if you're under tourist visa. You have to apply for student visa as an international student before coming to Canada.

No problem! Btw, do you know if we have to stick to 1 client in their home (same with private employer) while completing the 24 months of experience with an agency? Some agencies especially gov't funded have several clients a day but private agencies they focus on 1-3 clients a day or week.. I...

The person who will hire you will need a LMIA (sponsorship) for you to get a work permit which requires documents, proof of funds, and may also take a year or more to process. Therefore, most employers would just want to hire Canadians or people who are on a work permit or already in Canada with...

Sorry for the late reply. Thank you for confirming this, Twinkleberry! I also called IRCC to double confirm and the agent told me it should be fine since officers look into the responsibilities, hours, and genuine offer plus the reason you mentioned above.

Hi, Under the employer information section on the offer of employment, is it okay if the employer's name is an agency's name (e.g ABC Inc.) or does it have to be a private employer's name (e.g Mr Smith)? Has anyone applied for the program and PR application using an agency's name? I have a job...

No problem, I hope people would learn from my experience. Also, thank you! It's just sad that there are people who would take advantage of you for their own gain.

Is your program a 1-year program or exactly 8 months only? I believe the officers base their decision depending on the length of your program. For example, 8 months of study but 1-year length of study = 1 year PGWP but if 8 months of study and the length of program = 8 months of PGWP.

Applied by mail: Oct 08, 2019 Review of application: Feb 08, 2020 (few days after.. I received the best birthday gift I could ever ask for :)) Approved: Feb 10, 2020 Like what others do.. I also want to share my PGWP story because why not? Sharing is caring! My 1st PGWP application was on...
