Rules on Fees You must pay a fee for the processing of your application when you submit it. You should check the Web site of the Canadian consulate, embassy or high commission nearest you to find out the amount of the fee. Visa office Web sites can be reached from this site from the top menu bar. The amount is revised from time to time to reflect the cost involved in processing applications. Since the fee only covers the cost of processing the application, you will not get your money back if the visa office refuses your application. Therefore, we suggest that you review the program requirements carefully before making an application. There will also be costs for a medical examination, passport and travel. You are responsible for these costs as well as the processing fee mentioned above unless your employer offers to pay them for you. For reference on cost and rates on the fees mention please contact CDJ International Services Ltd.
Application Procedures Your employer will submit a request to us a request to hire you and we will be the one to forward that request to the Human Resources Centre Canada (HRCC). The HRCC will ensure that no Canadians, permanent residents or other temporary workers already in Canada are qualified and available to take the employer's offer of employment. Once the offer of employment has been validated by the HRCC, the HRCC notifies the employer in a letter that the job has been validated. The letter asks the employer to forward a copy of the validation letter to the prospective live-in caregiver. You should also be aware that you need a signed contract between you and your employer. You and your prospective employer are asked to check the Web site of the visa office for specific information about the work permit application process. Visa office Web sites can be reached from this site from the top menu bar. You will be asked for your diplomas, school certificates or transcripts listing the courses you have taken. Be honest about your education, training and experience because you could be disqualified from the program if you are not. Your marital status and the number of children you have will not affect the outcome of your application; you must be honest in providing this information. If the visa office approves your application, you will be given instructions for medical tests. When our officials receive proof that your medical results are satisfactory and that you have met all other requirements, you will be issued a work permit. A work permit is not a travel document. You must also get a passport (and a temporary resident visa, if required). The requirement for a temporary resident visa will depend on the country you are coming from. Because of the existence of an agreement between the federal government and the province of Quebec, there are differences in the way the Program operates for caregivers who will be working in Quebec. For more information, refer to the booklet published by the government of Quebec entitled Working as a Live-in Caregiver in Quebec: A guide for foreign workers and their employers. CDJ International Services will be the one to submit all documentation for final processing.
Work Permits A work permit from a Canadian visa office will allow you to work in Canada as a live-in caregiver. The work permit is usually valid for one year. Make sure you renew your work permit before it expires. You can acquire the application on this site for a work permit or by contacting a CIC Call Centre. You will need a letter as well as a signed contract from your employer stating that your job as a live-in caregiver is being offered for another year. Include this letter and your signed contract in your application to renew your work permit. Remember that the document authorizes you to work only for the employer named on the work permit. However, this does not mean you cannot change employers for personal or other reasons. If that is the case, you must apply for and have received a new work permit before you go to work for the new employer. Both you and your employer should be aware that you are free to change employers while in Canada. Immigration Canada will not deport you for looking for another place to work. Involvement in any illegal activity could result in the cancellation of your permission to work in Canada. You cannot, for example, work for any employer except the employer named on your work permit. Furthermore, you cannot accept employment except as a live-in caregiver nor can you work for a new employer, even for a "trial period," until you have a new work permit.
Open employment to permanent residents Once you have received a favourable assessment on your application for permanent resident status, you may apply for an open work permit. This will allow you to take any job you wish until you are granted permanent resident status. You will not receive your permanent resident status immediately. Normally, there are many people applying for permanent residence in Canada at any given time, and you must wait your turn: For Questions and other information do email us: visit us here
