Hi Thu. Let’s get straight to your questions.
1. From what I did before, LMIA is not required if you have the same employer. You can check to confirm if it is still applicable through the checklist.
2. If you have met the required hours of work, then you can apply for OWP and PR. As for the resident visa, you’ll only need it if you are going out of the country because you have to show it at the point of entry/airport.

I am working as a caregiver in my 2nd year now and going to apply for changing conditions or extend the stay in Canada as a worker. After reading your post, I have some couple questions that would like to ask you:

1. As stated, I need to provide the photocopy of job offer and valid LMIA attached to my application, so do I have to ask for support from my employer to re-apply for the new LMIA (I mean do they have to re-process everything once again? Or could they just register to the Employment and Social Development Canada about their wishes of resigning the job offer with me?)
2. The next process after being approved to extend my stay in Canada as caregiver is to renew my temporary resident visa, then apply for both open work permit and permanent residence at the same time. Is it correct?

She has to renew her work permit Antonette. But it’s a long way to go. Notice also that the policy for caregivers keeps on changing so both of you should stay up-to-date to the changes and renew the permit 3 or 2 months (can’t remember which one) before the expiration.

So if our understanding is correct, she will never comply the 24 months requirement for PR application UNLESS she will apply for an extension. So, do we need to apply a new LMIA for her?
Thanks

Another update from our side, the work permit extension has been approved already so we are now just waiting for the PR approval. Hoping that it would be soon 🙂

As of the moment we have not received decision on the renewal of his work permit but we have submitted our application for PR last July 24. As for our PR application, if you are aware of the background check status, we are at NA2 stage where eligibility and security checks are done. We have passed the medicals as well. We are hopeful that the PR be granted ahead of the work permit extension (wishful thinking). Will update you once we get decisions from either application. Thanks 🙂
