Canada Immigration Questions - Permanent Residency and Live-in Caregiver Program

"Immigration FAQ 1 - What are your thoughts on the Live-in Caregiver Program? Ans: For people who qualify under this program, it can be a good way of obtaining permanent residency. However, sometimes live-in caregivers find themselves in employment situations in which they are vulnerable to bad treatment from their employers. There are supposed to be legal safeguards against this, but live-in caregivers are still often victimized. As well, the live-in caregiver program frequently separates the caregiver from his or her family for an extended period of time. This can have the effect of breaking up families. Immigration FAQ 2 - I have a lot of money, but would not currently qualify under the skilled worker category or the Canadian experience class. As well, my English is poor. Are there any investor programs or other programs that I might use to qualify to permanent residency? Ans: From my perspective, the federal investor program is not a promising option. It is constantly being revised, and the wait times can be staggering. There are typically only brief windows during which the program is accepting new applicants. Another option, if you have the funds, may be to study ESL in Canada and then complete a degree or certificate program here in Canada. After you complete the program you will likely be able to apply for a post-graduate work permit, and eventually obtain permanent residency through the Canadian Experience Class or the skilled worker program. However, this last strategy is more suited to younger applicants.
