Process

1. Fill out the Parent Profile Form, which tells us about your family and helps us match you to a caregiver.
   
   
2. Consider the candidates we send you and choose two or three to interview by telephone, or request more choices.
   
   
3. Interview candidates.
   
   Processing Time: Steps 1 - 3:  1-2 weeks
   
   
4. Once you've chosen a candidate, we will write up the employment contract to and submit a foreign worker application to Service Canada for approval.
   
   Processing Time: 2-4 weeks (depending on the caseload at Service Canada)
   
   
5. Once Service Canada approves the application, the caregiver is able to apply for a work visa in the country where she resides.
   
   Processing Time: 3-16 weeks, depending on the country of residence of the caregiver.
   
   
6. Once the work visa is issued, your caregiver makes flight arrangements and is free to join your family at any time.
   
   Processing Time: 1 - 2 weeks.
