Hi Celo, As what I have read from other forums, posted by other caregiver applicants. Some of them passed their NBI and passport the same time they took their med exams. check out this forum http://bbayani.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=recent Hope this helps.

Hello Carmen, Thank you so much for your post, it gave me hope :) Yes, I am not giving up for I know there will be ways.. I keep the faith coupled with hard work I know I will reach my goals. Same question with job_seeker, what's the name of the Agency? it would be very helpful and good to...

congrats on the salary increase ellejnoc, your employer is really nice :) I'm also a member of another forum where caregiver applicants posts, and there has been a couple of bad news since last week. 4 of the applicants who were called for a personal interview were refused of a Visa :( even if...

thanks starzibal, but it's inevitable coz it's really difficult to find an employer to sponsor a Caregiver from my country :(

Aw yes that one!! a lot are saying that POLO should be abolished na. Are you a caregiver too?

thanks for the link and info my desire, this is such bad news. Philippines should do something about the processing time. It is really crazy 18 monts, for what reason? I really dont know. It takes them 9 to 12 months to send the Speak Test letter to the applicant and 1 to 3 months to send...

wow congratulations! what an accomplishment :)

thanks for the offer though elle, really appreaciate it :) That's the usual case regarding being here in the Philippines, the timeline of the whole process just ruins the chances. By the way, someone told me that the LMO expiration is 3 years? and 6 months after the visa is received. Please...

replied already :)

Yes, I already have a visitors visa. what do you think about the idea? but for as much as possible I really don't want to leave the country just to process the LIC Visa, I wish it could just be done here.

Yes that's the sad fact because Philippines has made the process really long and complicated, Agencies and employers prefer Caregivers from other countries which doesnt take that much time for their Visas to be approved. What do guys think about this idea: Will go to US under Tourist visa...

Hi PG Girl, where are you located now? the issue about processing your LIC papers, is the timeline.. it takes 18 months!! crazy but I really duno if we can find employers who can wait that long :(

Thanks again job_seeker. I will be enrolling in a Caregiving course this coming Febuary but might be looking for another school that starts their classes sooner this month, additionally will be having Red Cross training and OJT to add on my resume. It might sound crazy that I am sounding...

@job_sekker : do you know any agency that does this? I really duno the exact timeline of waiting for the Visa to be approved when the caregiver is in other asian country like Hong Kong. That's why the usual employers of caregivers here are their relatives or friends, unfortunately I dont have...

Thanks again Leon :) Yes, Ive heard about those stories, Caregivers who were issued plain working Visas and not the LCP visa... it started the rumor that Caregivers are not allowed to apply for PR after 2 years of employment. Some agencies are just ugh! heartless. I also heard about...

Thanks Leon :) I visited this site: nannycanada website and they dont charge fees to employers but charges placement fees to Caregivers. That's fine with me for as long as the fee is reasonable, I already emailed them to ask more details on how much is the fee and detailed requirements. I...

Hi Leon and job_seeker thank you for the information, greatly appreciate it. But those agencies who charges $5k are Agencies based in Canada. There's no agency based here in the Philippines who helps find employer for Caregivers. I have contacted Platinum Care, to name one. I asked about their...

Thank you for your clarifications job_seeker and Leon regarding the proposed law. I wonder when will it be approved? I am interested in becoming a Caregiver in Canada but one problem is I dont have an employer yet. Some people said that I should try to go under an Agency's help but I've checked...

@Leon: aww really, so in Ontario.. one cannot work more than 30 hours a week? what if the caregiver wants to do overtime? to be able to reach 3900 hours faster. When will the new law take effect? those caregivers whos visas has been approved after Dec 12,2009? Thanks!

according to the new law for LCP, 3900 hours of work, then a caregiver can apply for a PR. Hope this helps :)
