I am planning to relocate to Canada under the live-in caregiver program(as a Nanny) I have just received the positive Labour Market Opinion (LMO) from my employer in Canada in other words the first (Canadian part) of the application has been successful I am now preparing to go and apply next week at the Canadian high commission in Lagos for my visa,I have done my police clearance and have also completed my First Aid Certificate course.
I am wondering if anyone on this forum has knowledge and or experience about this application process with respect to the live-in caregiver program in Canada, documents to submit,typical interview questions and useful tips in other for me to make a successful application.
Thanks for your help.

Well, for documents to submit, why not check www.cic.gc.ca, which is the official Canadian government immigration site?
As for interview questions, no idea, but common sense suggests you might want to know as much as possible about the position you are going for-- who your employer is, what you're going to be expected to do on a day to day basis (are you taking care of kids, the elderly, etc), what city you're going to, why you want to do this/your qualifications for this position, how long you anticipate you're going to be doing it for, what you intend to do afterwards, funding for your trip, family ties back home etc.

Gracefulqueen, May I know the name of the Canadian recruitment agency that handles your application that enable you to successfully get an employer that is willing to hire you for a care giver job. So many recruitment agencies have surfaced on the internet of which they promise to assist applicant living outside canada to get a live in caregiver job in Canada.

I do not think all these agencies are geniune so how can an applicant get a geniune agency to process one"s application from canada?

what is your field of specialization?

Can a baker,caterer, or hotel housekeeper get a caregiver job in Canada? Thanks

@Ifegy,Thanks so much for your great insight, I have printed out the forms needed for the application.
@naijaspeaks,I did not use any agent my best friend with her husband lives in Canada and she's the one who applied for the LMO (She's expecting baby No.2 few weeks from now hence she needs someone to help her)
I am a graduate of mathematics but will not include that in my visa application(don't want to raise any questions at the embassy) I have been taking care of my elder sister's kids for years and will get a letter from her and other people that i have help with their kids.Again I sew and make hair very well ( so i will not depend on my friend fully for cash when i get there)
I hope this helps..
