How
does the foreign Live-in-caregiver obtain a Canadian
Work Permit?
，
We
will apply to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC)
at the Canadian Embassy in Beijing, on behalf of the
foreign live-in-caregiver, for a work permit in order to work in
Canada.
，
CIC
is responsible for determining whether a foreign caregiver
is eligible to come to Canada under the live-in caregiver
program.
，
CIC
will approve an application and issue a work permit
to the caregiver if the applicant meets the program criteria and satisfies
all other lmmigration requirements.
，
The
assessment of caregivers is based on their level of
education, training, experience, and language skills.
，
Caregivers
will also be asked to submit an employmeat contract.
What
is a Canadian Work Permit?
，
A
Canadian Work Permit is a document, issued by CIC
in Beijing, China, after careful assessment of the
qualifications of the foreign live-in-caregiver, that
authorizes the caregiver to legally work in Canada.
A work permit is specific to one employer.
What
is the CIC Processing time for a Work Permit?
，
In
many Canadian embassies overseas the processing time
for a live-in-caregiver Work Permit
is more than one year. In the Canadian Embassy
in Manila, Philippines, it will take two years from
the time the Philippine caregiver applies for a Work
Permit until the time it is actually issued by the
Canadian Embassy.
，
The
Canadian Embassy in Beijing, China, however, is one
of the most efficient, and processes the Work Permit
for a Chinese live-in-caregiver within two to three
months of receipt of the application.
What
is the duration of a work permit?
，
A
work permit is valid for one year.
How
does a caregiver get a new work permit?
，
A
foreign Live-in-caregiver must obtain a new work permit
from the Case Processing Centre (CPC) in Vegreville,
Alberta, if they
o
Continue to work for the same employer after the
original Work Permit has expired, or
o
Want to change employers
