I am looking to hire a foriegn nanny who is in Canada already currently working for another employee.
Since they cann't afford her anymore due to layoff I am planning to hire her as nanny to look aftre my 1 yr old kid.
Now the question is:
1. Do I have to immediately apply for LMO?
2. Can she work for me before LMO is approved in case i dont need a LMO now?
3. Is it like I can offer her job and signed a contract with her and she can work for me without LMO?
You have to sign a contract with her, apply for LMO then the nanny applies for WP. She can only start working for once she has her WP.

LMOs for caregivers/nannies are sent to Toronto. It's taking 12 weeks or more for the LMOs to come out. WP processing has improved. I think it's two weeks (12 days online) or 16 days paper app. as per cic.website.

@ job_seeker:thanks for the reply
How long does it take to get the LMO approved in Alberta?
Also, how long WP will take?
