Even though they didn't specify the minimum earning for employer applying to hire a nanny, there is a guideline for this on CIC website. What the IRCC agent will use to determine your eligibility as an employer with respect to your earning is LICO - Low Income Cut Off. You will need to go through the LICO list and determine your household threshold based on thr total number of person living with you. Let me give you an example calculation:
- Your total declared household income based on your T4 - assume $60970
- LICO for 5 (i.e 5 people in your household) - $43,791
- Projected annual salary of caregiver based on the contract your are offering - assume $20,592
To determine if IRCC agent will approve your nanny sponsorship application based on your earning:
$60970 - $43791 - $20592 = - $3414

You application will be refused based on your earning - you have a shortfall.

As per your last question, yes as employer you must have business account with CRA. This is how you will be able to remit deductions from your nanny salary to CRA.[/quote]Good day dear, thanks for all the information, i am still trying to be clear about this bussiness account, for example if my cousin employs me, i get to Canada and get another job how do we do the payment and taxes for this bussiness account? He wants to be clear on this aspect before we start the process. Thank you.

For everyone that has reached out to me with this same question/request, my response is no I can't help to look for employers who need nanny. Your best bet is to look for someone you know in Canada (families or friends) who need child care services or know someone who does.

Hello dear thanks for your prompt response. Please I would like to know about the salary range an employer can have to employ a caregiver from outside Canada and do they need to have a business account for the employment? Waiting for, our response thank you.
