| Finding Foreign Live-in Nannies or live-in Caregivers who are already in Canada |
|
Nannyservices.ca has a large number of especially qualified, foreign
caregivers residing in Canada and currently looking for work.
You may ask yourself “What would be the advantage of hiring a
foreign caregiver?” Read on and we will tell you how you could benefit
from the services offered by a foreign caregiver, who is already in
Canada.
First of all, it is well known that foreign caregivers are very much
sought after because they tend to have a great deal of excellent
caregiver qualifications. They are usually very dedicated to their
profession and many have extensive nursing and medical backgrounds. Many
families worry about the expense of hiring a foreign caregiver since
employing a foreign caregiver residing abroad means paying for the
flight to bring your caregiver over to Canada, in addition to the large
waiting time it usually takes to get their visas organized at the
Canadian embassy. The beauty of hiring a foreign caregiver who is
already in Canada is that you do not have to deal with these issues.
The fact that these caregivers are already in Canada means that you have
the added benefit of meeting them face to face prior to hiring them in
addition to receiving recommendations from previous Canadian employers.
This is understandably an important issue for some people who do not
feel comfortable hiring a person they have never met in person.
One more advantage of hiring a foreign caregiver that has already lived
and worked in Canada is that your caregiver will already be more
proficient in English/ French and acclimatized to life in Canada,
meaning much of the cultural differences which could cause inconvenience
and misunderstandings at the beginning of the caregiver-family matches
have been eliminated
Since foreign caregivers living in Canada, are scarce, and very much
sought after, how would you even go about looking to hire one?
Nannyservices.ca is the #1 source for just that. Along with the
thousands of other caregivers on the extensive NannyServices.ca
database, families can quickly and easily find extremely capable,
qualified and experienced foreign caregivers residing in Canada. To find
them, simply search through the profiles of the qualified nannies and
just make sure that the nanny profile contains the field “Live in
Caregiver Program Required”.
Once you have decided that you want to hire a foreign nanny already
living in Canada there are a few quick and easy steps to you must carry
out.
Firstly it is important to ensure that the caregiver you have selected
is legally able to work in Canada. It is illegal for any
caregiver to work without a valid permit and it is a crime to employ a
worker who is not authorized by Citizenship and Immigration Canada. For
this reason it is not possible to hire a caregiver on a trial basis to
find out if they are suitable. Your caregiver must formally apply for a
work permit with your name as the employer to the Citizenship and
Immigration Canada (CIC). The caregiver's application must include proof
that you, the employer, received a positive Labour Market Opinion.
Another issue to keep in mind when hiring a foreign caregiver in Canada
is that you are obligated to give evidence that you have enough income
to cover the costs of hiring a caregiver. In addition you must be able
to provide accommodation for your live in caregiver.
Once you have searched the nannyservices.ca database and selected a
caregiver that you want to hire, you must then contact the HRSDC
to obtain an LMO (Labour Market Opinion) and they will validate your
offer of employment. Since your caregiver must show this LMO when
applying for a work permit, is vital you get one and not miss this step.
To obtain more information about the Live-in Caregiver Program, you can
contact the HRSDC at 877 227 4577 (toll-free).
Should you require assistance in processing the paperwork necessary
for hiring a caregiver, please feel free to contact Lis Immigration
Services on 1-613-808-8935. They will help all NannyServices.ca clients
at a reasonable cost.
