How to immigrate to Canada for nursing career?

As a nursing worker in China, the monthly salary is 3,000 to 4,000 yuan. In Canada, in addition to room and board, you can get 8,000 yuan after tax, and you can also take your spouse and children and get it for the whole family to become a permanent resident of Canada. Is this investment attractive? Let's analyze how the nursing major immigrated to Canada for you.

Recently, the reporter learned that Canada's immigration project Home Care Program, which was reopened on 20 15, opened the door to skilled talents from China who have nursing study and work experience and are willing to take up employment in Canada to become live-in caregivers. They can apply for immigration status after working for two years.

The local market is in short supply, and nursing workers in China are the most popular.

This job can be called a live-in nanny in Canada, or a live-in nanny. After obtaining the employment approval, she will go to the employer's home in Canada to help take care of children, the elderly or the disabled, and live in the employer's home. After working full-time for two years, you can apply for permanent residence status in Canada.

In Canada, this kind of home care work is very scarce. Alex Meng, a senior immigration planner who has worked in Cheng Jing Global for decades, said that many wealthy families who immigrated through investment in China usually have to work. After emigration, they usually have two children, and maybe the elderly will live together, so they need family caregivers very much.

As we all know, in foreign countries, especially in high-welfare developed countries like Canada, local residents with higher per capita wages are often reluctant to engage in home-based care for the elderly. They think the job is hard, the salary is low, even lower than the waiter in the restaurant, and the waiter often gets a lot of tips. Therefore, few people are willing to do it. However, the demand is great, resulting in a shortage of talents.

The reporter also learned that wealthy families in China who have the greatest demand for family caregivers usually have Filipino maids who are responsible for washing and cooking, and many families even employ more than one nanny. However, the trade unions in China are particularly favored by employers, because they can speak Chinese, give their children a mother tongue environment, get recognition for their hard work, and know the secrets of children's nutrition and soup making like the palm of their hand. Many employers report that they prefer to hire nannies from China to take care of their children.

It is best to graduate from nursing school and have a job certificate.

Applicants for this program must have at least 6 months' nursing experience in addition to a certain IELTS score, but there is no clear requirement for which school to graduate from and where to work. Judging from the practical experience and the pass rate of probation, it is best for the applicant to have more than 1 year relevant study experience and work experience, graduate from a nursing school, or be trained in a large domestic company and have a work permit. The more work experience, the easier it is to apply.

In addition, it is more important for the applicant to get the LMIA, that is, the employment certificate, applied by the employer. After the interview, the employer must apply to the Canadian Labor Department for a work permit and fill in the applicant's name before submitting a work visa application. However, to apply for an employment permit, employers are required to have an annual salary of more than 90,000 Canadian dollars, which is a high-income group in Canada (the average income in Canada is 60,000 Canadian dollars), and with the increase of family members, the income requirements should be increased accordingly. This means that employers who can't reach this annual salary level, if they want to falsely report their annual salary, will deduct taxes and fees according to the reported figures, which will increase the tax and fee cost too much. This will make it more difficult to find a real employer.

It is said that the domestic care program in Canada has been opened for application this year, and there is no quota limit for applying for a work visa. From 2014165438+130, the Canadian government has opened two fast tracks for this project, which will accept 5,500 applicants' applications for permanent residence every year (that is, 2,750 applicants for each fast track), plus applications from their family members. At present, dozens of high-quality employers have been reserved, many of whom are former customers, and they do have this demand. It is estimated that this policy will continue in 1-2 years.
