How to Immigrate to Canada as a Nanny
Moving to Canada as a nanny is increasingly popular, and is an excellent life choice for many people. However, Canadian immigration is a complicated legal process, especially if you want to immigrate using a work visa. Canada does offer attractive opportunities for those who plan to live and work in the country using a work visa. If you are looking to move to the US from Canada, see this.
For a foreign worker who wants to immigrate to Canada as a nanny, the government offers the chance to become a permanent resident after he or she has worked as a caregiver for two years.
Steps for Immigration to Canada as a Nanny
Anyone looking to immigrate to Canada as a nanny must fill out the application form for the work permit visa as a live-in caregiver. The government has instituted a live-in caregiver program specifically designed to help workers from outside the country to work as caregivers to address the shortage of domestic help in the country. This same program allows caregivers and nannies to apply for residency after two years of working as a caregiver.
1. The Application Process for Caregivers
Applicants must have ready documents proving a job offer from a prospective employer in Canada. The company applies for sponsorship, which includes applying for a Labor Market Opinion from Service Canada. This is the approval from the Canadian government after it determines that no Canadian citizen can perform the job for which the applicant is applying. The employer may be required to show proof that he or she has taken steps to hire a Canadian citizen for the position but was not successful in doing so.
Once this is approved, the applicant must then apply for employment authorization from Canadian Immigration. In some cases, the applicant or the employer may be required to submit a signed written contract that describes the specific responsibilities of the candidate as a nanny or caregiver and an overview of the planned work arrangement.
A good handle on English or the ability to understand or speak French may also be required for some parts of Canada.
2. Interview Process
Most foreign workers will be required to attend interviews with embassy officials before the visa is granted. This interview is done to ensure that the caregiver’s employment will have no adverse effects on the employment prospects of other caregivers or nannies in the country. The work permit is valid for two years, within which the foreign caregiver can apply for permanent immigration to Canada.
The legal requirements for immigration to Canada as a nanny may be complicated and require a good grasp of Canadian immigration laws. To avoid hassles and to ensure that you provide all the requirements on time, you need the help of an experienced and skilled lawyer who specializes in Canadian immigration law. Increase your chances of living and working in Canada as a Nanny by working with a lawyer who can help you land the caregiver job you need.

Hi
Not sure it was posted before now.I’m from Jamaica. I lived with my husband in Canada for 2 years l. I worked as a LPN for 4 months unfortunately lost my job. My husband went because of my job offer. He was on an open work permit and worked for a year and a half but as a general laborer. I would like to return as a nanny as I have an offer. Can I take my husband with me and since the live in component has changed can we rent a place for ourselves?

hello. I have a question. I was previously working in Canada for 4 years and I would like to apply for PR. unfortunately, I dont meet the requirements for Canadian experience anymore (1 year in last 3 years) so is it possible, theoretically, find an employer (family) with LMIA and apply as a live in nanny while in Express entry? would the valid job offer increase my points so I could automatically get an invitation to apply for my PR?
my situation is little bit complicated and I really want to go back but every time I apply there is some change or something else happens and I am getting frustrated about it.
currently I work as a chef for the last 4 years (2 years while in Canada and now in Scotland)
thank you for your answer

Hello,
I was just reading the immigration site and noticed this statement:
“Service Canada has been instructed to refuse to process LMIA applications from employers seeking to hire foreign caregivers exclusively on a live-in basis, except in cases of high medical needs certified by a physician or exceptional circumstances, subject to approval by Service Canada”.
Does that mean I can not hire a live in nanny unless it is for medical reason? what do they consider exceptional circumstances?
Thank you,
Lamine

I also see under the TFW program, nannies do not have to have a high school degree as it used to be under the Live-in Caregiver Program.

Hi sir,I’m interested in applying for in-home-caregiver visa for Canada.I’m from India.I have 6 months nanny /caregiver training and one year experience in senior home care in India.And I have done IELTS as well.
My question is that I got my experience before my nanny/caregiver training.Is it ok?Or experience should be shown after training.
My second question is what is the requirements for IELTS bands under in-home-caregiver programme.
Hello Kiran. It is not a problem having the course after your practical experience. The rule is you need either one or the other. The home-caregiver program does not have an IELTS requirement, however you will be asked to demonstrate enough English knowledge to be able to handle an emergency situation.

Secondly,CIC website is showing requirements like either 6 months training or experience.But in India they need training and experience.It shows on their website.Should I need to probe both.If yes,I was getting salary in cash,how I will demonstrate my pay stubs?
Thanks in advance.

During my visa interview,the visa officer mainly just ask about my work here in Morocco and what will be my task in canada,which is of course a live in caregiver. She did not ask me of what are my intentions in going to canada,never asked me of whether i wil go back to home to my country or not. After all her questions,she gave me back my passport and told me to wait for their call within 2 weeks for the visa stamp and if i wish to become a permanent resident in canada,i can avail for it. I just said “ok” with a shrug. Was that a good sign of approval of my work permit or she is just testing me?

2.What questions will i be anticipating?
3.how long will be the interview?
4.how can i convince the visa officer that i will really be going back home to my country as soon as my contract expires? I am single,have some relatives living in canada but not that close,my family is left in my country,i dont have bank statements,no investments.i am applying from a country differ from my country of birth.
Please help.
Thank you very much.
Hello Jenny. You should always carry all your documents with you whenever you meet with immigration officials. They will be asking you questions regarding the legitimacy of the the job, and your intentions after your work visa is expired. The interview will take as long as it is necessary for the immigration officer to be confident about your intentions. You must always tell the truth.

is gnm, bsc nursing or m-tech persons are qualified for live in care or nanny visa in canada.Deos canada allow them to take their sposes along with them & on what conditions.
Hello Ajit. The caregiver program does not allow the applicant to spouses with them under the same application. A spouse would have to apply for a visa (work, study, visitor) under his own merit. If your current studies are recognized as equivalent for the the caregiver program they will be ok. You will need to check with a foreign educational credential organization.

Hello. My name is Lambros and I have an English training centre in Cyprus. I often have the question about what score a caregiver needs to have to make a visa application for Canada. Can you answer this question for me please? Also, where can I find an official reference to this.
Thank you
Hello Lambros. The Canadian caregiver visa does not have a IELTS minimum requirement. The candidate must however to demonstrate that they have a proper knowledge of English in order to handle emergency situations.
Regards, Muga
Thank you for your reply Muga. How does one then demonstrate this a proper knowledge of English?In what form? Thank you
That will be done in an interview. It will typically include making calls to 911 and explaining the emergency.
Regards, Muga
Once again, thank you for your reply. These ladies/caregivers who would like to go to work in Canada are presently in Cyprus. How will this test be done in this case?
Hello Lambros. That will be left up to the discretion of the interviewing officer. You are best to contact the Canadian consulate and ask them which procedure that they use.

Hello Faye. In order to qualify for a caregiver visa, you must have a 6 month training course, or 12 months of paid experience. Your new Canadian employer will need to complete a Labor Market Impact Assessment and have it approved before he can give you a job offer. Once you have the job offer we can help you obtain the work visa you will need. 6 months is a more reasonable time frame to get everything completed.

Hello Sir I am Jagroop from India . I have done nanny course and also have done GNM . I also have two years experience as a staff nurse . I want to apply for Canada as a nanny . Shall I need to have ielts . What is the processing time . I am married with one child and my age is 33 . What are the changes of getting PR and how long shall it take?
Thank you for writing to us Jagroop. You do not have to take the IELTS exam to work as a nanny in Canada. The processing of the Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) that is necessary in order to give you a job offer, takes approximately 6 months. Unfortunately, the work visa for a caregiver does not allow you to bring any dependents with you to Canada. You will be able to apply for Permanent Residence after 2 years of working in Canada.
Best of luck, Vahe
I have employer who is willing to provide lmia. She is not requiring experience as nanny .Do I qualify to gey a positive lmia? If yes! After 2years Do I qualify to apply PR for taking care of the chidren pathway thank you. .
Thank you for writing to us Melanie. It is not up to the employer to decide what the requirements are for a Work Visa for nanny. If the LMIA is for the position of a nanny, then Canadian immigration says that you must have either a 6 months certificate, or 1 year of experience in order to qualify for a caregiver work visa.

Hi Sir! I have a friend who plans to sponsor me for her son, a 10-year old boy. I am planning to take a course for this. My questions are:
1.) How long is the processing of my visa? I am from the Philippines
2.) Is there a possibility that my application will be denied?
3.) Should I make a regular application to get my visa?
Hello Aprilyn. That is great that you have a job already lined up for you. That is essential in getting the required work permit. The processing time in the Philippines is approximately 90 days. It is impossible to say if an application is going to be denied. The most common reason for an application denial, and we see it all the time, is when someone fills the form in themselves, and some of the information they provide is incomplete of misleading.

Hi,
I would like to bring my sister as a nanny for my twins… she has one year experience as a nanny in UAE and living there with her family… my question is if she applies can she bring her own kids with her as a nanny or she has to wait until she gets pr?? Does Canadian immigration allow families to come with their own family?
Thank you for your question. You will have to go through the LMIA process to get your sister a work permit so that she can come to Canada. The work permit itself does not give the right to bring dependents to Canada. Your sister would have to get two years of work experience and then apply for Permanent Residency. When she makes the PR application, she will declare her children as dependents, so that they will all get their PR status. If you need professional assistance in the complex process of LMIA and work permits please fill in this form http://goo.gl/RvRtRK it will give me more information about your situation, and allow me to plan a strategy to get your sister and her children here to Canada with the least delay possible.

Hi,
I just want to make sure if IELTS is required to someone who is applying for In-home caregiver from India to Canada.
I would also appreciate if you can elaborate the steps. As far as I’ve known, she should have 72 units in college, with 6 months caregiving course or 1 year experience, and should have positive LMIA. I’m not sure with IELTS. If there’s anything I’m missing please let me know. Thanks a lot!
More power!

Hello Harpreet,
Thank you for your post. She can definitely reapply if she has found herself a new employer. But I would not recommend that she reapply on her own since she has received a refusal in the past, CIC may be cautious to issue her a Work Permit if her application and employer information/LMIA are completed correctly. Please complete this form on behalf of your sister (or send her the link) as it will give me all the details I need to advise her on what she can do to qualify. http://www.visaplace.com/immigration-assessment/

Hello,
Wondering if IELTS required for Work Permit from India on LMIA Food Service Supervisor (NOC 6212). Please let me know and also the processing time.
Hi Nishant,
Thank you for your question. Yes it is a requirement for you to take the IELTS General Exam to be eligible to apply. As for the processing time, it varies…if you have submitted everything and all the information is correct it can take up to 3 months to receive a response…incomplete applications or applications that were not completed correctly can cause lengthy delays and sometimes refusals.
