Live-in Caregiver Program | How to apply

Canada’s Live-in Caregiver Program is a unique program under Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. It allows someone to enter Canada on a temporary work permit, and then apply from within Canada to become a permanent resident.
To qualify under the live in caregiver program, you must meet the following:
A job offer and a positive Labor Market Opinion is not a guarantee that you will be issued visa and work permit. You must be able to satisfy the visa officer that you meet the requirements, especially the education, training and experience. This is where most of those who apply for the program fail.
If you don't have formal caregiver training, you must have at least one year related experience. This experience must be within the last three years from the time you filed your application.

Application forms and complete application kit for Live-in Caregiver Program may be downloaded from http://cic.gc.ca.

hi there my name is bernadette im working as a caregiver here in denmark. I just heared from a friend that also lived in canada which she ready from the news papers in canada, that this year canada will not giving LMOs for new applicants due to recession and crisis they will just give priority to those that are already in canada. Is that true? i hope not...
^ uhm... there are still those who receive their LMO's so I guess that's not true.

Good morning Mr. Apuntar, I am an employer that is hiring a live in caregiver in the Philippines. My application was refused because when my house was assessed by an assessor, there are only 3 rooms, now we have an extra room in the basement for a prospective employer. Just recently, we received the decision of the immigration that my prospective employee can't work for us because he doesnt have a room to stay. Can I make an appeal to the immigration and send a new assessment with the additional room? His application was already sent back to him. Thank you so much for your advice.
Yes, you can send an appeal. But there is a great chance that you will just be advised to send a file another application.
hi Mr.Apol, i am Mylin. Now, I am working here in Singapore as Domestic helper. I am planning to work in Canada as caregiver. What are the requirements?
You must find an employer in Canada first.
how long does it typically take for your visa application for the live in caregiver program to be processed in saudi i am about to submit my application and my employer needs me by January, is that reasonable?
The normal processing time is 26 weeks - saudiarabia.gc.ca
Good day Mr. Apol Apuntar,
Its been my long time dream of going to Canada and work there. This is Rhodell Dagoco. I am currently in London as a student and Working as Part time Health Care assistant in a Nursing Home. I am also a graduate of Health Aide NCII in the Philippines and had been Certified by TESDA as Caregiver. I wanted to apply in Canada as Caregiver but I don'n have any Employer yet from that country. Do you assist your applicant to find Employer in Canada? I hope I could get a positive response from you on this matter. Thank you very much!
Rhodell

Hi Mr. Apol Apuntar,
A prospective caregiver's application of mine has just been refused as she was not able to satisfy the visa officer that she has the basic skills to perform the work - although she is a nursing aide in the Philippines. Being pregnant already at 5 months and just waiting for her has really devastated me as me and my husband have already laid out plans on her arrival as well as our son's birth. I saw on the previous postings that one should submit again another application but due to the time constraint of giving birth already by January, can we just appeal this and how? Please advise.
Thank you.
Lyn
You can send a letter of appeal to the Visa Office, but there is a great chance that the decision will just be confirmed, if ever you get a reply. (see this for example) My suggestion is for you to question the visa officer's decision through a Federal Court in Canada. Get help from a Canadian lawyer in your place.
hI, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO PROCESS THE TEMPORARY RESIDENT VISA TO CANADA? THANKS
12-18 months for cargiver
hi! I am krizelle.. I already applied and had my speak test last october 28.. I am now waiting for my med ref.. Is there any way that I could trace if MCE already sent me my ned ref?
Hi Krizelle, You'll just have to wait for the letter. Processing is within 12-18 months. It is best to make a follow up only if that period lapsed.

Hello Sir Apol,,is it true that if you are a teacher in the Phils. and u want to work as a caregiver in Canada, you don't need to take caregiver course anymore???.just heard that ..maraming salamat po and mabuhay po kayo.
It is best to have a caregiver training.

hello there,i would like to ask,what to do if u are already here in canada,and would like to apply for caregiver but has no certificate nor any related experience?what is needed to do?thanks...can it be possible to study here?
Hi, Mr. Apuntar. I am a prospective employer. G. Ponziani, First Secretary, is the visa officer handling the application of my prospective caregiver. I have submitted all the requirements needed but I think is not yet satisfied. However, I indicated that should there be further questions, contact numbers were given and to feel free to call me or the other concerns (i.e. company). I am just wondering, is the embassy there not doing phone verification? There's also one incident that I received a letter with regards to my prospective caregiver's application after a month from the date of the letter and would only give us few more days to complete the requirements. If in case I received the letter late, will the embassy give an extension to complete the requirements?
^ They do phone verification, too. As long as there's a reasonable explanation, they allow extension.

Hi Sir. Just want to ask what to do if I have a multiple visa for canada and wanted to work there as a caregiver, Will it be possible to change status from Tourist to Work Visa there?
Greetings! I am Will, male, 21 years of age, Filipino and a graduate of Bachelor of Scince in Nursing degree school year 2009-2010. Fortunately, I passed the licensure examination for nurses last July 3-4, 2010 and I am going to receive my license as a registered nurse. I have no working experience as a nurse in our country because I am just a fresh graduate and a fresh board exam passer.
I am an Au pair here in Denmark for just about one month. I have visited your website and I have learned that Canada is highly in need of nurses and caregivers. Can I have a chance to apply a job in Canada while I am here in Denmark. If yes, how would it be? Thank you.
Yes, you can apply provided you meet the eligibility. In your case, you need work experience to be eligible.

IS IT TRUE THAT RIGHT AFTER THE INTERVIEW THEN THAT IS THE TIME THAT THE EMPLOYER WILL PROCESS REQUIREMENTS IN CANADA? HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FROM THE DATE OF PASSING THE INTERVIEW?
ANOTHER THING IS THAT I FINISHED 52 UNITS IN COLLEGE, IS THE ARRANGED EMPLOYMENT NOT ENOUGH TO SUFFICE THE REQUIREMENTS NEEDED?
BUT RIGHT NOW I AM ENROLLED IN THE OPEN UNIVERSITY HERE IN THE PHILS AND I COMPLETED JUST 15 UNITS AS OF TO DATE WHICH ALL IN ALL SUMMED UP TO 67 UNITS.
WHAT BEST WOULD YOU ADVISE ME TO DO.
HOPING FOR YOUR FAVORABLE REPLY..
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

Good Day Sir,
Im 21 yrs old, Im currently residing here in the philippines. Im working for 2 yrs and 3 months as a staff Midwife/Nursing Aid in a clinic. I have passed midwifery board exam. I graduated as Midwife, caregiver and nursing aid. Im a national certificate holder NC11 in Caregiving and nursing aide under TESDA. I have training in Hospice center for 1 month as well as First Aider under philipine national red cross. I applied in a caregiver recruitment agency here in the philippines. Its actually an urgent hiring. Is it really possible to process my Visa within few months or even in just one month if it is an urgent hiring? Do you think I will passed and satisfied the Visa officer on my qualification? Im a bit confuse. Hope you will help me thanks
Good day Sir! Can a registered nurse just here in the Philippines apply for the caregiver program? I have found an employer already. But I was wondering if I still need to get a caregiver certificate
Registered Nurse need not get a Caregiver Training Course.
IELTS is not required, SPEAK TEST is.
If you did not meet the required education/training/experience, chances are your application will be refused.
Processing time is standard, there is nothing that your employer can do to expedite the process.
Good day Sir,I finish my caregiver program 5yrs ago and also Iam a certified TESDA caregiver. My questions are, now that I have an employer Iam I still qualify as a caregiver and also how many units required in a live in caregiver.

Dear Mr. Apol,
I have qualified as an applicant for the foreign live-in caregiver program of Canada twice and my applications were always due to the lack of room for the caregiver. My last application (2nd) was denied again because according to the visa officer he does not believe that my aunt who was sponsored by my employer, daughter- inlaw does not live with them, despite some documentary proofs of the address of my aunt. My aunt, who is 73 years old, has two sons, the older son a consultant engineer of canada (my employer) and the younger son a certified public account (CPA)of Canada who is working as Assistant Director of a prestigious oil company. Both sons live in the same subdivision a waling distance away from each other, so that my aunt can easily visit my employer. I believe the visa officer is capricious and whimsical in his decision to my application. I just file a judicial review because I was told I will have to pay my lawyer which is advised to handle such cases a big sum of $10,000. - wit a 50 - 50 percent chance. What do I do now? I need the job.
hi sir apol!
I have an application for live caregiver in Canada.. I am done with my medical exam last April but up to this month I haven't heard anything from the Canadian embassy. What should I do now? Where can I go to follow up my application? Oh by the way to add into that this is also my 18th month. Please advise.
Hi, I would like to ask if the LMO's expiration date is usually one year?if expired LMO submitted it will be rejected?
hi apol...
i just want to ask what should i do in my case..The canadian embassy sent me a letter informing that i need to have an appointment for may medical exam with in 30 days.My problem is, i'm applying as caregiver under my brother in law and i'm single in my status, but sad to say when i received the notice regarding medical exam i am 6 months pregnant but unmarried.Unfortunately, my employer knew about my situation already and i wonder if i can have my medical exam even if i'm pregnant.I am worried also if being pregnant now may cause denial of my application.
please advise asap!thanks!!
Hello Sir!
I am presently in UK on a student visa but this coming November 2011, me and my dependants' visa will expire. So, we need to go back in the Philippines.
I am interested to apply in Canada but I'm a bit confused on what is the fastest route to go there. I applied last May 2011 directly to an agency in Canada as a live-in caregiver. They didn't ask for any documents from me, all I gave them is my resume. Month of May 2011 I paid half of the total fee which is 1500 british pounds for the LMO application. Until now, October 2011, my LMO is still processing as they said. They promised me that before my visa expires in UK, I will get be in Canada. It's been almost 5 months now but still my LMO is not yet out. Is it possible to wait that long? Do I need to sign anything for the application of my LMO because they didn't ask me for anything. Now, they said that I should wait for my LMO in the Philippines when my visa in UK expires which is not they promised me. I know for a fact that it will take 18 months to process visa for canada once i get positive LMO.
One thing, I am thinking about Federal Skilled Worker or Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program because I have relatives in Winnipeg who are willing to sponsor me but I think I will fall in General Stream (my father's first cousin). I worked as a nurse in the Philippines for 3 years and 9 months and as a Senior Carer here in UK for 1 year and 4 months. I got my ACADEMIC IELTS result, July 2011. With my scores, I can apply to register as nurse in Manitoba (CRNM).
Do you think I should pull out my application as live-in caregiver then pursue with either FSW or MPNP? Which is better to apply, in terms of processing time and my qualifications?
I'm really confused right now. If you can help me decide, it would really be a great help. Thank you

Hi Apol,
I submitted my requirements for Caregiver bound for Canada to the Canadian embassy and they confirmed received it March 23, 2011. They sent a letter to my employer to provide her requirements last September 15, 2011 and my employer immediately submitted her documents September 17, 2011. I wonder why I haven't received any letter from Canadian embassy about speak test or any update. How many weeks is the average to receive response from Canadian embassy once employers docs is submitted. Its already November 20, 2011 now, my employer need me by March 2012
good day sir,just want to ask how long will it take the processing times of LCP,my employer expected me this january 2012...I already passed my application kit last may 2011 till now no feedback recieved...thanks godbless
Until now (DEC 14, 2011), I haven't received my LMO yet, I am already back in the Philippines first week of November. The agency kept on saying that the re-filing of my LMO (Aug 9, 2011)is still on process. They want me to wait for LMO approval but it's too long already. :(
how could i get a schedule for the speak test before january 20?....the exact date and time and the location...i am currently applying as a live in caregiver to canada
hello everybody,,sa totoo lang habang binabasa ko itong column na to napansin ko everybody wants to go to canada..as acaregiver??? sus maryosep marami pang bansa na maayos at madaling aplayan kaysa canada..like new zealand, denmark ,holland..wala masyadong tsetse bureche,,di pa masyadong paduduguin ang ilong nyo at paluluhain ang mata nyo ng asin dahil sa mga exams like ielts, and speak test...if i know mas magaling at malinaw pa rin tayong magpronounce ng english noh kaysa sa kanila,,,kaysa try nyo sa mga bansang sinabi ko...or kung may interesado dyan meron akong alam chambermaid, waiter, waitress sa casino hotel sa macau...salary deduction pa...
hello sir! do know what is the passing score for speak test? I already got my score but i am not sure wether i pass or not.
Is a score higher than 2.5 on both knowledge and fluency a safe score to say i passed? i'm hoping for a response from you sir. thanks!
Hello good day!! i have a relative in Denmark working as an au-pair, we're planning to get her as a nanny, provided that i already meet the requirements for hiring a live-in caregiver, my question is, if ever we receive a positive LMO for her, how can she apply for visa or work permit since that there is no Canadian embassy in Denmark? does she have to go home in the Phil? or does she need to go to London or can she mail her application? pls we need help. thanks a lot!!
