Live-in Caregivers are quickly becoming one of the most in-demand positions in Canada. As such, Canada has a long history of accommodating live-in caregivers for both work permits and permanent residence.
If you meet these criteria, you may be considered eligible to apply for permanent resident status.
Akrami & Associates and our team of highly skilled immigration professionals have much experience in helping people obtain their nominations. Contact us to find out how we can help you!
When considering applying for permanent resident status as a Live-in Caregiver, an officer who will be assessing your application will reassess the merits in which you initially obtained your working status in Canada. Further, having accompanying dependents or people included in your application will affect your application.
Canada has announced recent and progressive action will be taken to address the seriously growing issues with the Live-in Caregiver processing times. Live-in Caregivers who have submitted applications for permanent resident status in Canada can wait up to 39 months on average. What is worse, this number is for straightforward or otherwise standard applications; if your application is unique or deviates from the norm, you could be waiting even longer.
This is why submitting a clear, accurate and properly compiled application can mean the difference between approval or extremely long wait times or worse, waiting all that time only to find out that the application has been refused.
Akrami & Associates will guide you every step of the way with this. We can help you reduce wait times by anticipating the officer’s needs and “connecting the dots” of your application for them. Contact us for more details.
If you intend to submit your application without the support of a representative, there are a couple of factors you should keep in mind.
You must include all your family members in your application for permanent resident status, even if they do not want to come to Canada with you. Family members who are not listed in your application cannot be sponsored by you at a later date.
This means that if you omit a family member from your application, such as a dependent child, you will never be able to sponsor them in the future. EVER.
By including all your family members, you and your family members can all get permanent resident status at the same time. Your family members abroad will go through the process of permanent resident status at their nearest visa office. Note, all your family members must first pass medical and criminal screening before you can receive permanent resident status.
When you receive your permanent resident status, your family members will receive immigrant visas from the visa office in their home country.
In your application, you may include an application for an open work permit. This work permit will allow you to continue to work while you wait for a decision on your permanent resident matter. You should include this in your application so it can be processed right away.
An Open Work Permit would allow you to work for any employer of your choice without requiring a Labour Market Opinion first.
If you decide to leave Canada while your application for permanent resident status is underway, you may not be authorized to re-enter without first obtaining proper authorization, depending on your country of origin.
You may require a temporary resident visa, for example.
