It is not easy to find work in Canada for caregivers from Philipines.
Canadian nanny agencies are not able to help caregivers who live in Philippines. The visa processing time in Manila is currently about 18 months. This is too long for standard Canadian family – most of them need help immediately and are willing to wait only a few months.
Hello, i want to ask if i can apply as a caregiver there in canada if possible while im here in singapore, i work here as a nursing aide of one of the nursing home here and im from philippines.Thank You
