So you're a baby mama wanting to bring your pikin with you to Canada under the caregiver program ? Call it what it is. Canada can prove they're you're biological children. But I don't think you'd qualify under that program if you decide to bring your kids with you. Nigerians barely get a visa for that program. In fact I've never met a Nigerian who has.

I believe you should have updated information before you start discouraging someone.

Copied from their official website.

Under the new caregiver pilots, applicants will be assessed for permanent residence criteria before they begin working in Canada. Once the caregiver has their work permit and 2 years of work experience, they will have access to a direct pathway to become a permanent resident.

These pilot programs will replace the Caring for Children and Caring for People with High Medical Needs pilots and include:

Occupation-specific work permits for caregivers, providing the ability to change jobs quickly when necessary.Open work permits for spouses/common-law partners and [b][/b]study permits for dependent children, to allow the caregiver’s family to accompany them to Canada.

Note that the new program was set to launch in June.

If you have never seen then she might be the first you would come across.

Don't understand the question how is it possible. She should apply for the visa class she wishes to apply normally saying where is applying from as there is a place on the form it is asked.She will fill in temporary resident in the space provided for that when asked for residency status and for citizenship Nigeria. She will fill her Canadian address where she is staying now.

If she lives in Canada, and has experience as a child care giver then it will be easier.

Nekdr:

My Landing Story
I got my PPR in March 2019 after more than a 5-month wait. It was a very tiring experience, I must acknowledge. Well, I sent my documents and passport the next day to Accra through the usual channel. I was overly excited but knew that the real work had just begun.
Immediately, I decided to book my flight through Ethiopian airline for July 19th after considering the best prices and taking into consideration my notice period at the office. After much considerations, I decided to change my flight date to an earlier date (July 13th) because of some commitments on the 19th which I really did not want to affect my traveling date. Mind you, I did all these before my COPR arrived because if I had waited, I probably wouldn’t have gotten the best of prices as my scheduled flying date was at the peak of summer.

So, in preparation for my exit, I bought a hand scale from Jumia, which happened to be very helpful as it gave me very reliable measurements. I decided to start packing gradually about 2 weeks before. Moved my stuffs from my house to parents, gave out stuffs and sold things. I remembered being confused about whether to take my suits or not…. Thank God I did ooo because it has been very helpful to me so far.
P.S: Please take your important wears to avoid expending very early when you land.
Well, while packing, I realized that my luggage was way past the required size. I got confused because I really wanted to carry food stuffs but did not want to cargo. Two days before my trip, I had to perform a cost benefit analysis of paying for extra luggage on my flight or sending stuffs via cargo. When I calculated the price for excess luggage on the airline, I did not need anybody to tell me to re-strategize. Thank God I had already bought a strong GMG bag from the guy I bought my light weight bags, Musibau.
I went to Sahcol a day before my trip to cargo, I had budgeted a maximum spend of N75k for 45 kg. I weighed from home and found out that the weight was exactly 45kg including my palm oil. However, I had failed to incorporate the weight of the packaging materials and the crates for the oil. Finally, my most dreaded fear became a reality. My stuffs became overweight by about 6 kg due to the additional packaging. I insisted that they unpacked while I removed some stuffs for it to fall within my acceptable limit.

Fast track to July 13th, I left my family apartment at Ikeja around 10:00am for my flight of 1:40pm. I had checked in a day before, so all I needed to do was weigh my bags and check them in again. As I earlier mentioned, my measuring scale was very reliable and I barely had any back and forth at the airport. I went ahead to bubble wrap my 2 bags at N1k each, as I did not lock the bags and didn’t want them torn either. When I was done, I went ahead to snap pictures with family before bidding my farewell. I did all necessary documentation and in no time boarded the plane.
The first leg to Ethiopia was pretty smooth and not stressful. I stuck to rice and chicken throughout and sat near the aisle for easy movement and to enable me stretch my legs easily. Inflight entertainment was ok although I realized that the movies were all old movies. Met my able brother Teecan on the flight too…(Beautiful family you got bro)

The second leg na where person wan take collapse oo… Flight just long like say we dey go heaven. Well, fast forward to Sunday 8:00am (1:00pm naija time) we touched down YYZ. Proceeded with landing formalities, CBSA and Immigration… few questions asked if I had more than US$10k. Meanwhile in the plane, I had ticked the checkbox on the declaration form given to us that I came in with nuts and veggies. When I got to customs, after informing them I had goods to follow which included some foodstuffs, I was directed to an inner room for clearance. I got in there and saw how those customs guys were drilling people ooo… na him I begin dey pray for my mind o. Well, it got to my turn and I immediately gave the officer my Goods Accompanying and Goods to Follow (GTF) sheet (which I prepared on excel before leaving naija). He was happy to see it, as though I had made his work easier. Immediately he saw my goods to follow, he asked me where I was coming from and I responded. He immediately asked me why I was bringing food to the country when there was a lot of food in Canada… omo I gats give am one better explanation ooo make dem no thrash my stuffs oo. Well, he was satisfied with my response, stamped it, made a copy and gave me one with a blue colored form to pick up. Eventually, my bags were not searched at all.
I then moved to my already secured Airbnb directly from the airport with an Uber that almost finished me with price (They charged me N10k + for a trip less than 25 minutes). However, the driver was very nice and told me quite a number of things about Canada and his own immigration experience.

So far so good, it’s been fine here, the weather has been warm, I have done my SIN at Service Canada on Monday (considering the fact that I landed on Sunday), opened bank accounts, registered with a phone network provider and stuffs. This was after I had missed my way like twice when using the buses here oo ���
But all glory to God for speed and making all fall in place. My apologies for the very long story. I wish everyone still in the process divine speed and safe trip into Canada.
God bless you.
It has finally ended in praise!

That is not true......

She will be automatically rejected.

You can't apply for any visa as a visitor in any foreign country..... It can only be done on different visa categories not on visit visa

Fools are working against their own interest lying, instead of telling the full truth so one can help. It's hard to help when you don't give the people all the details.

TEECANN:
Congratulations Raphrulz...it was nice meeting you. Very interesting and knowledgeable brother and friend.

I'm coming with my own landing gist too but Conestoga College course assignments don't want me be to be famed.
I landed right into it as I have gotten the admission since and even done some online classes whilst in Nigeria.

May the land favour us and every other of our compatriots here.

NB. But quite a number of people landed this summer...best time of the year I guess.

It will all end in praise IJN

snowlordng:
Guys pls I need urgent ans ...am migrating to canada through the newly lunched caregiver program ....I have gotten a job remaining to apply for visa .....my problem is that I have 3 children who are bearing their father's surname and am like a single mother cause their father went to Europe when they were small and we didn't do traditional marriage or wedding all we did was normal introduction to our parents ...pls how am I going to prove to Canadian immigration that am the mother of the 3 children since we're are not bearing same surname .

Blackbuddy:
Hello, birth certificates naming you as the birth mother of the kids will be sufficient. You can get these from the hospitals of birth and/or from NPC - National Population Commission in your area. It would also be good to approach a family court in your area to get documentation evidencing you have sole custody of all the kids as the father is not in the picture. This may come in handy when time comes to issue the kids their visas. All the best ahead.

damzy88:
Sorry,is this report that one can take to Canada to drive before getting a license? Do you have an idea how much Mr Sule will do it?

jhoci:
I applied for a Canadian visa while I was in US last year and was approved. I stated that I was visiting the US and also included my ticket for my trip back to Nigeria. This was even while my PR application was ongoing.
