Hi everyone, I'm a PR but I passed my citizenship test in November last year. The people there said that my citizenship ceremony would be in Victoria in February, but I haven't heard a thing. Is there any way to check on the process, or find out when the ceremony will take place? Thanks in...

Well, obviously I just realized that I lost it. If I'd known a year ago, I would have applied for the VOS then.

Thanks! I'm thinking that I should apply for the Verification of Status document anyway. Then I can show up at the interview with a photocopy of my COPR and the receipt for my VOS application. Hopefully that will be enough, but I understand that it obviously depends on which immigration official...

Hi everyone, I have a PR card and applied for citizenship earlier this year. With my application, I included a copy of my Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM 5292). I don't have the original COPR as it got lost somewhere when we moved house. Now I have been invited to the citizenship...

Thanks dna! What kind of contract do we need to give her? Does it have to be a specific live-in caregiver contract? Or can it just be a regular employment contract?

Hi everyone, Our live-in caregiver arrived in April 2015. She arrived under old live-in caregiver rules because the application was approved back in 2014. She is now approaching 2 years with us. She would like to apply for PR, but I believe she needs to get an extension to her work permit...

Hi everyone, I posted on here before about how disappointed we are with our nanny. She came here on the live-in caregiver program. We have employed her for more than 2 months now and it is not getting better at all. In fact she has lied to us about several things and we feel that we no longer...

Thanks everyone for the guidance, its really appreciated. We're going to give her the option to fly back to Philippines as we can get very cheap tickets. Does anyone know how much she is likely to have spent on the immigration process? I think she probably paid for a medical and the services...

Sure. She's Filipina and we're in BC. Its a very unfortunate situation, but obviously our kids come first and we don't really have a choice here.

Hi everyone, We employed a nanny through the live-in caregiver program. She arrived in the country 2 weeks ago and, having spent quite a lot of time and money to bring her here, we are sadly very disappointed. She is unable to keep up with the job (which our previous nanny managed just fine)...

Thanks PPM. I know that if we stick to the existing 40 hour contract we will have to pay overtime for any hours above that. However, can we write a new contract with her specifying a regular 50 hour week? She would be happy to do this, so I just need to know if its legal within the program.

Hi everyone, We live in BC, and our live-in caregiver is arriving in March 2015, approximately. Her application is currently being processed. Both the existing LMIA and the Live-In Caregiver Employer/Employee Contract state that we will employ her for 40 hours each week. These forms are part...
