$1000 APPLICATION FEE WAIVED FOR FOREIGN NANNIES,CAREGIVERS

OTTAWA | DEC 27, 2017

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PUBLISHED NEW REGULATIONS AROUND HIRING FOREIGN CAREGIVERS 

The new regulations apply to those who earn less than $150,000 a year and want to hire someone from abroad to look after their children.

Those seeking to hire a caregiver for people with a physical or mental illness will also be exempt from the labour market impact assessment, or LMIA, fee.

Employment and Social Development Canada, which manages the program, said people who need care in those instances are often already on fixed incomes, and rely on others stepping away from their own role in the workforce to provide care.
