Hi everyone! My cousin is my employer and just got approved for LMIA. I am a nurse here in ph and my application is as a nanny to her 2 kids. I have few questions though:

1. Do I need IELTS?
2. How long will it take to process my visa? Because I have an out of the country trip this coming this March and April and I will be needing my passport.
3.

Thanks!

You may run into problems with the work permit because family members being sponsored as a nanny are often denied. There was too much abuse of the program and families were using the program to circumvent the normal immigration pathways and many never worked as a nanny. You are a nurse so that helps but becoming a nanny would not the best use of your skills. You'll have to wait and see about your passport. You can always explain that you need your passport for travel and ask for an extension.
