Caregiver wages are
stipulated on the Contract of Employment you and your employer sign for the

housekeeping responsibilities, working condition, etc. Depending on your
qualifications and experience, range of compensation is at least Can$ 10.00 per
hour and higher depending on skills and contract.

processed?
From the time you get
your validated offer of employment (from HRC, Human Resource
Canada) and submit this for drop-box application to the Canadian Consulate, the
whole process may take as long as 24 months now.
9. Why
does it take too long to get an interview schedule?
The sheer
volume of the application forms the consulate has to attend to and the sheer
number of caregiver applicants account for the wait time. It is recommended that
the guidelines set by the embassy be followed to avoid further delays and
returned or rejected applications.
10. Do we need to pass
get the Caregiver Licensure Exam?
Caregiver
graduates are required to take the assessment examination to get their NC II
(National Certification level 2) license. It is recommended to pass it to verify and assess skills learned.
