Title: Ontario employer – Can I report a former live-in nanny to IRCC for allegedly providing false information?
I am an employer in Ontario seeking advice about a former live-in nanny who filed an Employment Standards claim against me.
The Employment Standards Officer issued an Order in her favour. My concern is that the officer estimated her working hours at 12 hours per day during the first six months and 10 hours per day afterward, based on text messages, photographs and assumptions about childcare responsibilities.
I was actively involved in caring for my daughter. I had a one-hour lunch break and regularly spent time with her. I also sometimes finished my software work early and took over childcare. I have photographs showing me caring for and spending time with my daughter. I also cared for her after work and during some holidays. The nanny had periods of free time when the baby was sleeping.
I believe some of the information and representations made by the former nanny may have been inaccurate or misleading.
My questions:
I would appreciate advice from Canadian immigration lawyers or employers who have dealt with similar circumstances.
She got a vulnerability work permit by doing this.

My questions:
- Can I submit a formal complaint to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) if I believe she provided false or misleading information?
- If she obtained or applied for an open work permit for vulnerable workers, can I report concerns about the information used in that application?
- What type of evidence would IRCC require before investigating?
- Could knowingly providing false information to immigration authorities have consequences for her immigration status?
