If she can find an employer who's willing to hire her from the Philippines considering it takes 12-18 months to process WP from there. She have to let her prospective employer know that she needs job contract and LMO.

oh., it really takes a long time if she will apply fr the Philippines

Yup, best case scenario (12 months, as per one member's post); sometimes could be longer than 18 months.

@jobseeker
If she/he is RN in the Philippines, does she need to study the LIVE IN CAREGIVER course? tnx

 

[job_seeker]

I have met RNs here who are under the LCP. No need to study the 6-month live in caregiver course. But I think they initially applied as caregivers for seniors. Once in Canada though they can work with children and babies.

hi zedekiah!

my friend's niece is a live in caregiver (for kids) here in canada and shes an RN from the philippines too. although being a nursing grad isnt included in the requirement for LCP, you will find in the additional form for live-in caregiver no.2 item "education and training information: on what basis are you submitting your application? choices are caregiver course, employment experience and lastly educational backgraound(nugring degree etc)

so as long as you have an employer, lmo and contract, you can definitely try to apply.

goodluck!

halu grade 08...!!

thanks for the information, but my sister has no experience yet as a nurse..

Hi there! Does your sister have an lmo already? If not, your sister can maybe do hospital duties while u try to get her an lmo. My friend's niece only had 4mos of hospital duty but she was able to get in. At least when it's time for her to fillup her application kit she can indicate when she started and write up to present. And get a certificate too from thehospital to prove her experience.

i think you have to take additional test on TESDA to get certificate to work as live in caregiver. You will not fill up the forms that are not applicable to you. Just fill up the educational questionnaire that qualify u as live in caregiver. I know lots of pinay caregivers here are RN from Saudi and some medical tech too.
