LMIA FOR LIVE IN NANNY

[Rainbow2015]

Hello everyone,

I'm 30, and I have just got a job offer as a live in Nanny. During my job search, I have sent numerous applications to families and got interviewed but at the end of the day, the responses are "You are a fantastic candidate but we need someone already in Canada" That almost got me discouraged before this offer came. I asked the couple why did they choose me and they told me they are impressed with my degree in guidance and counseling as well as my experience and other certificates in Early Childhood education.

Now unto the next step, LMIA. I was informed last week that the LMIA application was rejected but they are going to re-apply. Considering the fact that this is a low wage occupation, do I stand any chance of receiving a positive LMIA? Is there any alternative if eventually it comes out negative? What can I do to at least boost my chance of a positive LMIA.

Many thanks as I anticipate your helpful responses.

When an LMIA is refused, it's typically because the employer hasn't met all of the requirements. For example, they haven't met the advertising requirements, they haven't submitted all of the required paperwork, etc. I assume you meet the requirement of having completed at least six months of related full time education in the last three years or having at least one year of full time paid work experience in the last three years.

Where are you from?

Thank you for your response, yes I think I'm cool with the requirement. I hold bachelor degree in guidance and counseling plus other qualifications including a 3years college degree in Primary education studies plus a certificate in ECE. I have been working as an early childhood teacher in Nigeria for almost 4years.

Are there any documents required from my end to support the application so I can advise my employer accordingly?Thank you.

Impossible to answer that question without knowing specifically why the LMIA was refused. Chances are it's something they need to provide and you can't help - but again, impossible to say without knowing the refusal reasons.
