Hi. i have a quick question about the ECA. i have an australian diploma from Tafe. Does ICAS assess vocational training? none of the other approved agencies do this as per their websites, but ICAS does not mention this. just wondered if anyone had any experience with trying to get a vocational diploma assessed for this pathway.

Its good that you have chosen a proper community college. There course are very thorough. Not like some of these 6months quick course.

I went to George Brown College and went into caring for Elderly. And it worked out well. Its a recognized college and will not run you in any problems with immigration further down the line

Just keep praying. After your studies you will get a 1 year postgrad work permit. So please ensure that the employer you find is willing to do the sponsorship or LMIA because you would require another 1 year to complete your 24 months.

Just ask God to go before you and thungs will work out. Good luck with your PSW course!!!!

Hi! I’m a newbie here but been following the thread months ago. I just would like to seek advice regarding my case. I am working as LIC and will be able to comply my 2 year fulltime work requirement in July next year. Being told that the fastest way to be a permanent resident is through the new pathway so I’m planning to apply through it. As I am working with children I know I have to apply through the caring for children pathway. The thing is, with the Caring for persons with high medical needs includes NOC 4412 attendant for persons with disabilities at home, and I am working for a family who has children with disability. Will I be able to qualify for the caring for persons with high medical needs (though my work permit is under LIC)? I would want to apply through this pathway (because they said it’s faster than the caring for children) or just through caring for children. I hope someone could help me. Though I have way to go through my contract as LIC, I just want to be prepared. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Anyone here
You're qualified to apply for a pr under the live in caregiver program and not eligible for the new pathway.
Sure you can study for more than 6 months but you will need a study permit. As per CIC, remember that you are in Canada to work as a full-time live-in caregiver.
I've been following this thread a month ago hoping to get some infos base on others experiences. But I still have some questions regarding on how to study while working as a live-in caregiver which i couldn't find answers. It's impossible for me to apply for pr because im only a 2years graduate in college.
1. Are there schools who offers late afternoon to evening class for live in caregivers who wants to take 1year program/course?
2. What are the programs/courses that are acceptable for applying pr?
3. Do i need my employer's consent about this and how to get a study permit?
4. What are the steps i need to do?

Can anyone help? Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I have a question regarding the education requirement for the PR application, my friend is looking to work as a caregiver in Canada under one of the two tracks, however she does not have a degree as she left the course halfway. As a result, she has complete up to high school which is 10 years for the Philippines education system.
1.As such can she be qualified to get a work permit to work as a caregiver in Canada? She does have up to 5 years working experience as a caregiver in another country.
2. For application for Canadian PR after two years working in Canada as a caregiver under one of the two pathways, she needs minimum a post secondary certificate of one year. I have looked at the PSW courses in the community college and i see that it is full time and you would to have to enroll into the course as an international student i believe and the course fee is really high. Did you pay for the course by hand or is there any financial help that can be applied for?

Looking forward to your advise and replies, it would help a great deal. Thank you.
