What if I don’t like my employer? 
As a foreign worker you are entitled to all the human/legal/labor laws that are applicable to all Canadians. If you do not for whatever reason not want to stay with your employer, or should your employer choose to discharge you from their employ, you may within a reasonable time find a new employer whom is prepared to sponsor you thru (HRDC). This is a common situation however, we strongly encourage you, should you receive an employment offer from a family that you give it your best effort, as this family would have waited a minimum 3 months for you to clear immigration and in some cases possibly six months.


When Can I become a Canadian Resident?
After 24 months of completing this program you are than free to apply for permanent Residence in Canada! This should be a process without the usual immigration requirements as you have been in the country under this program.


How does NASC find employers?
NASC will advertise their website under Nanny/Domestic available in the classifieds sections of various newspapers in Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver & throughout Canada to attract prospective employers. As well, will encourage Canadian Nanny agencies to consider our Nannies for their employers


After becoming a Permanent Resident do I still have to be a Caregiver?
No. You may at that point in time continue on with your desired career. Usually, during your tenure as a Live In Caregiver, most Nannies will continue their studies at night to be ready for when they become Permanent Residence.


What Happens when I become a permanent Resident? 
Congratulations!! You have all the freedom that any other permanent resident has in Canada except for voting, until citizenship is obtained (Passport) after 3 years. As well, your immediate family, i.e. husband, children are free to join you in Canada. This program is a very unique opportunity for people to migrate to Canada without going through the strict guidelines of “Immigrating”
