Interested, pls help me.
[Wequote author=fash78 post=92490368]I have done this for two of my sisters. One is already Canadian PR under the old live in caregiver path. Mt second sister's application is in progress under the new nanny path which will qualify her for open work permit and Canadian PR after 2 years. I can help to answer questions for those who are interested in doing this having gone through the old process and the new process.
These are some critical points for success:
1. You must have someone Canadian PR or Citizen who is qualified and willing to employ you as a nanny.
2. You must have Language tests results showing a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) of 5 or equivalent.
3. You must have one year of Canadian post-secondary education or the foreign equivalent;
4. Proven experience as a nanny
5. Show that you have qualification and training in childcare including Firstaid, CPR.

Please review this link from IRCC on the process for home childcare provider application:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/hire-foreign-worker/in-home-caregiver.html
You can also review the forum below. You will be able to read about this program and experience of people who have applied world wide.

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/home-childcare-provider-pilot-2019.642381/page-122

In my opinion, this is the easiest way for folks to help their family and friends to come to Canada so far they are willing to sacrifice 2 years of working as a nanny.
So for anyone interested let me know how I can help.

My wife's sister is ready to give her job offer(I think that's major hurdle) and we are sorted about that... Like how long does this application take? Can get your contact pls. To chat . thanks

Guys please use the link that I posted earlier and read up about the application process. Then come back and ask any specific questions about the application process you need clarity on. Please note that I do not have time to spoon feed anybody. Read-up first and ask questions. The first step after securing an employer in Canada is to register for your IELTS exam and pass it. In parallel you need to complete your credentials assessment by WES (World Education Services). Note that WES will require your transcripts to be sent directly to them by your institution. This is one of the bottle necks of this application process.
Also go and complete your childcare/healthcare diploma course. I know of two places offering this training in Lagos. I have used one of these two places for my two sisters so I can only vouch for one - Workforce Training Solution. The second school is called The Nanny Academy https://www.thenannyacademy.com
Please contact any of these two schools that work for you for the nanny course/training.
I hope this helps.

I know the Nanny Academy Lagos. They are good! Even if you reside outside Lagos,it can be done online

Hello, thank you for the information, was wondering if I can reach you via email, I am in the process of applying for my aunty to come help me with my kids and I have some questions. Thank you

Sure. Please send me a request and I will reply you. For security reasons I can post my personal email account on this forum.

For everyone that has reached out to me with this same question/request, my response is no I can't help to look for employers who need nanny. Your best bet is to look for someone you know in Canada (families or friends) who need child care services or know someone who does.

Hello dear thanks for your prompt response. Please I would like to know about the salary range an employer can have to employ a caregiver from outside Canada and do they need to have a business account for the employment? Waiting for, our response thank you.

Did your sister have to register with Red Cross or get any certification from them?

Thanks for all the information. Can a woman with children apply? Would she and the kids be given visas?

Even though they didn't specify the minimum earning for employer applying to hire a nanny, there is a guideline for this on CIC website. What the IRCC agent will use to determine your eligibility as an employer with respect to your earning is LICO - Low Income Cut Off. You will need to go through the LICO list and determine your household threshold based on thr total number of person living with you. Let me give you an example calculation:
- Your total declared household income based on your T4 - assume $60970
- LICO for 5 (i.e 5 people in your household) - $43,791
- Projected annual salary of caregiver based on the contract your are offering - assume $20,592
To determine if IRCC agent will approve your nanny sponsorship application based on your earning:
$60970 - $43791 - $20592 = - $3414

You application will be refused based on your earning - you have a shortfall.

To get accurate LICO thresholds based on year and population of your location, visit the link below:

https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1110024101

As per your last question, yes as employer you must have business account with CRA. This is how you will be able to remit deductions from your nanny salary to CRA.

Yes. The new pilot program for Home Childcare Provider actually provides an awesome opportunity for the nanny to bring their spouse and dependent
children to Canada in one application.

cheeketo:

Well not compulsory but it is a plus. One of my two sisters actually joined red cross before she applied for her nanny visa. She also completed her first aid and CPR training with Red Cross. Did it help? Probably yes because her visa was approved.
I have seen other folks who got their nanny work permit approved without being a member of red cross so I don't think it really matters.
What matters is getting your First Aid / CPR training done with a reputable organization and making sure you include your training certificate in your work permit / PR application.

OK, thanks, those training school you listed are quite pricy o

Thank you so much. How can i reach you personally please.

[quote author=Anniebony post=88674753]One thing i know about this pilot is that it does not require any proof of fund. It is actually the only immigration work permit pilot with NO PROOF OF FUND.
However, you need the following things:

1) Canadian styled Resume with a Canadian Phone Number
2) LinkedIn account with a professional profile picture
3) Professionally crafted Cover Letter
4) IELTS Exam with at least 5 Band Score (#75k)
5) Qualification assessment with WES(Canada)(#65K)
6) Free Certificate exam in First Aid, CPR and AED(Optional but better). Check out www.firstaidforfree.com

If anybody is interested in Home Support Work Pilot, i can post some job links here for

cost of application pls?

chlowi:


good evening. Please how much does the entire process cost ?

If you review the link that I sent earlier you will see the breakdown of the cost for application process but I will help to break it down here.
Note the $ is Canadian dollar (CAD).
- Nanny application fee including right of permanent residency - $1600
- If the nanny has a spouse and he or she will be included in the application, that is another $1600
- For each dependent child, you will pay additional $150
- Biometric fee for a family ($170) or per person ($85)
- Work permit fee per person ($150)

Other costs based on experience:
- Credentials evaluation through WES - $220
- Childcare training (if you do not have one before) - N355K from Workforce Solution Lagos
- First aid / CPR training - N20K
- Obtaining your degree transcripts and courier to WES - cost will vary from school to school but courier cost is ~ N15K per transcript
- IELTS exam (nanny and the spouse) - N150K

So assuming the following:
- A nanny, his/her spouse and a child are included in the application
- One transcript sent to WES for evaluation
- You all have your naija passport already
- Exchange rate of $1 to N300

You are looking at a total cost of ~ N1.8M for just the application processing.

If God answer your call and you all obtain work permit and PR. You then need to worry about flight tickets.

thank you so much for your swift response . God bless you. ...

One more question please, would the employer have to merge his individual account with a new business accounting to be created, or just open a separate new business account with CRA. Please note that this employer's only source of income is still through employment as an employee and not a business owner.
Thank you very much ma.

I can't say I approve of a program like this because of the dangers for women.

Please I have a question. Do i still need a certification in Child care since I have almost 2 years work experience as an early childhood educator? Can the work experience and first aid certification be enough?
Thank you

I have another question. I have all the necessary credentials except the certification in Child care and first aid. My certification in Child care is going to be concluded in January 2021. Does this mean after that is when I can submit all my applications as required or I submit the ones i have and then tender a certification when asked for it

Thank you very much ma.

There is a difference between having a CRA account and having CRA business number. For instance I have CRA account through which I can directly communicate to CRA and access some personal CRA documents e.g. notice of assessment, tax refund information e.t.c. Almost everybody should have CRA account. On the other hand, you will need CRA business number if you are a sole proprietor or in a partnership and you require what the CRA referes to as “Program Accounts” e.g. GST/HST, or payroll accounts to track source deductions for yourself and all employees you have. I have my personal CRA account and I have a sole proprietary business number. I didn't have to open a new business account. I hope this helps.

What dangers?

I don't want to scare anyone away from an opportunity, but it's not as if it's uncommon for home care workers to be abused. These men see someone desperate to stay in Canada, and they hold the power to quickly send the woman back. I think seasonal work in hotels/resorts might be a better alternative. At least there, people can protect you.
