Hi According to CIC website:

There are four main requirements you must meet to qualify under the Live-in Caregiver Program:

You must have successfully completed the equivalent of a Canadian high school education. This requirement will help to ensure that if you apply for permanent residence after two years as a live-in caregiver, you will be able to succeed in the general labour market. Studies indicate that the majority of new jobs in Canada require at least a high school education.

You must have six months of full-time training in a classroom setting or twelve months of full-time paid employment, including at least six months of continuous employment with one employer in a field or occupation related to the job you are seeking as a live-in caregiver. You may have gained your training or experience in areas such as early childhood education, geriatric care, pediatric nursing or first aid. You may also have completed your training as part of your formal education. This experience must have been obtained within the three years immediately prior to the day on which you submit an application for a work permit.

You must be able to speak, read and understand either English or French at a level that allows you to function independently in a home setting. For example, you must be able to contact emergency services if required and to understand labels on medication. You will be unsupervised for most of the day and may be required to communicate with someone outside the home. A good knowledge of English or French will also enable you to read and understand your rights and obligations.

You must have a written employment contract between you and your future employer. The contract defines your job duties, hours of work, salary and benefits. The contract also reinforces your employer's legal responsibilities to you. This requirement helps provide a fair working arrangement between the caregiver and the employer and provides both parties with a clear understanding of what is expected of them.


I guess regarding family income you have to prove that you can afford Caregiver Minimum Monthly Expense ( Approx: $1400 Per month) Plus separate room in your household. It all depends on your Income and Expenses you had.


Any Experts can correct me, if I am wrong.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I checked that cic site before also but I just want to know that NURSERY TEACHER TRAINING IS OK to apply with 12th Grade or not. Because they were mentined about ECE course I guess it is almost similar but want to be double sure. n she is from India. and there is some family income line also that your anual family income should be $......../. thats what I want to know If u one can put more light on this

And I live in condo apartment 2 bedroom : I have two kids do I need bigger apartment to sponsor a nanny or not/

Thanks

Nursery Teacher Training is OK as Long as she can show Minimum 1 Year of Related work Experience.

Secondly Regarding Family Income, You need Minimum $50000 +. More Important is you’re Liabilities, because they have to check your Mortgages, any Outstanding Loan Amounts, and Notice of Assessment from Canada Revenue Agency from the Past Year. You also have to show any Liquid Assets for Supporting Purposes.

Income Requirement Varies as it depends on your Liabilities. You may need more Income if you have more Liabilities.

You have to prove them that with all your Liabilities you can pay your Caregiver Minimum Monthly Income $1400.

Regarding Accommodation, You need a bigger place to live with 2 Kids and you have to provide him or her Complete Privacy in your Household.

In the Past I did Sponsor Nanny from India. If you are in doubt Please check with Immigration Consultant, As I am only telling you from my own Experiences.

Thanks so much for your advice. thats a great help
