exactly! Open employer only, but the same job NOC. I’m still okay with that. I love being a nanny. But it’s difficult to transfer another employer as soon as possible (I waited 6 months to work as a nanny again because of that damn LMIA!). So I was UNEMPLOYED for 6 months here because my closed work permit says that I can only work with my previous employer ONLY.

yes, the occupation-restricted open work permit. That would be very helpful in case your current employer changes their minds because I understand it is difficult to find an employer who’s willing to do the LMIA. I hope you will finally finish your 2 years work experience with your current employer.
Thank you! I guess I’m gonna finish my contract with my current employer now (tho I don’t wanna stay more than 2 years with them, i have too many OT without pay). My cousin got her open work permit (ANY JOB) early this year, after more than 2 years of experience as a nanny. Under the old caregiver program, the open work permit is NO RESTRICTIONS at all.
That is so unfair, working OT without pay. I get why you want your open work permit now. I am also waiting for my owp, more than 2 yrs of experience now. I didn’t understand what you said earlier about the owp because I thought the occupation-restricted work permit is only for outside canada applicants.
Hahaha! Thank you. I cannot complain or request to my employer for fear that they will terminate my service. So yes, I have to serve them until I have that open work permit. The first batch of HCCP who will be approved are all blessed. You will not experience what I went through (more than a year of being UNEMPLOYED because employers refused to do LMIA or they are taking advantage of you knowing that you cannot transfer another employer right away). And I met many nanny under the old caregiver program who were verbally abused (employer shouted at them) before. These employers know that you are “captive by your closed work permit”
Yes and I know they are taking advantage (your employers) because they are aware that you need to finish the 2 yrs work exp and left with no choice. That’s why closed work permit is not ideal. Really glad they changed it into occupation-restricted wp.
thank you. I hope you get yours soon too. Fighting!
I think they might have started processing it because till today they were saying my file is in queue to review...if now on same platform they are saying it’s background is checked then something may be hopeful
hi Sam, you may discuss with IRCC consultant about reassess tax file it will be faster for your application result as your file already progress for next step but if it failed then no choice but find new employer to replace it. are you inside or outside applicant please share timeline. best of luck!
Hi I am an employer and our 2020 income was low compared to previous years because I was on Mat leave for more than a year. A lot of canadians had lower income in 2020 because of the pandemic. When they asked for the updated Offer of Employment I left the optional Annual Income blank and I am waiting for the IRRC to send me an email asking for NOAs. I am not sure if they are going to request that bec we submitted 3 yrs NOA before. If IRRC requested our 2020, I plan to send our NOAs with our bank statement showing our savings in the bank as a proof that we can afford to hire a nanny for our 2 little kids. This was suggested by consultant agency that I called before I completed the updated Offer of Employment.
Yes,i agree i also believe they have started your process.Good luck.Could u plz provide the number where you get answer via automated machine.
