oh ok, with you OP mum is 57 so already at the age limit, not sure how they apply is re is at the time of application or the time PNP nomination granted??? think it may be at time of application, Not Sure if OP had considered NS?

Also not sure if CIS lends itself to what would be a single PA, it would be an unusual application for this route I think, and they are getting stricter I believe, but nothing ventured nothing gained for the OP

Good luck

worth looking into?

Definitely worth a look by the OP. Her mum would need childcare qualifications and/or at least one years full-time paid childcare work to qualify though, hence my questions about this in her other thread. She didn't respond to those questions, so I'm assuming she doesn't have the experience/qualifications.

But if she has then that would be great so

Isn't the upper age limit 55? Could be completely wrong though, but from memory I thought it was.

Edit: just double checked, and to be eligible for NS CIS you have to be between the ages of 21 and 55, so that's not an option either unfortunately.

Hi
Do you know of a good site about CIS in NS? I've been looking on the internet but so far no good...

hi

thanks i know what u are saying and wish it was as simple as that but not really a viable option. i could not be that far away from my daughter. prob over protective i know, but we been through a lot lately. the father thing is just a none starter. her dad, to cut a long story is not allowed her on his own. i know it seems slighltly mad not emigrating due to childcare but it is a practical long term subject that must be explored for me. we are now looking at the care giver route which i have been told by 2 immigration consultants would be a viable option so fingers crossed! we had been told, also be an immigration consultant that yes the sponsor ship would take several yrs but in that time, mum could stay on temp. six month visa, travel to U.S border every 6 month stay for a bit then come back and the 6 month temp. visa would be reinitiated. i have emailed him with the new info that i have had from here regards this and am currently awaiting a reply from him.

I ma starting to resign my self to life in the UK and as much as i try it is hard to come to terms with. have considered living in EU country but to be honest its nothing something that sits right for me and such a big decision should feel right.

am also waiting to hear from the immigration office of CIC emailed abt a week ago explaing situation and seeing if they could offer light at the end of tunnel.

once again thanks for all ur invaluable advice, and if anyone has any brain waves...let me know! xx

What he can't guarantee is how often that scenario can be repeated, or indeed if your mother will even be given a full 6mths visa.

The brother of a friend of mine was recently refused re-entry back into Canada (to see his fiancée), after performing exactly that same proposal you mention a couple of times. Immigration had had enough of it, as they determined he was treating Canada as his primary home, without any immigrant status. He's now stuck in the UK.

As we know from your previous posts, you've been given misinformation regarding your mother by immigration consultants before, so just to check but she has at least one years full-time paid work experience in childcare, or a childcare qualification (of six months or more duration)?

That's the only way she'd be able to go on the live-in caregiver program, so just wanted to check she's definitely eligible before you get your hopes up again. Also don't forget that you'd have to offer pay to your mother (her pay will be checked to make sure it meets provincial labour standards, although I'm assuming they won't check she's actually received that pay?). And also prove that "there are not enough Canadians or permanent residents available to work as live-in caregivers in Canada".

Here's the link to the CIC info about the live-in caregiver program btw - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/caregiver/index.asp

Fingers very tightly crossed for you.

P.S. Don't expect to hear back from CIC, they rarely respond to emails from people who've actually applied for visas, never mind people who are just sending enquiries! I don't believe they give general immigration advice via email, if you do get a response they'll probably just tell you to look at the CIC website which outlines all of the available visas.

Thank you, I shall take a look later. For now I have to get to work

Sorry is this for real????, maybe her mother is all she has and vice versa, I know we have grown into a society who put themselves in front of their parents, and I'm all right jack to hell with you syndrom, but some of us have sense of responsiblilty to our parents who gave us everything because they wanted too, now we want to do the same fo them. Don't know what age you are, but all I know even though I have a great husband and family, every day I miss my parents and would give anything to have them back. Good on you op for considering your mother, I know she would not want you to give up your chances at a new life (and that is something you will have to decide on) but like you I would not be 100% happy if I thought my mum was on her own and my husband knew that. You really come across selfish paperwork and it makes me wonder what sort of relationship you had with your mother, wonder what you will expect of your kids when your older????

dgjamison

And the children are with their grandparent/s growing up in a strong family unt, all for that myself

dgjamison

after reading this I have to apologise, you came across in the first thread a little arrogant sorry, I see you are sensitive to the issue. To me a lot of the kids that have gone by the wayside in GB and other countries is a little bit down to the family breakdown, (just go to the real spanish resorts and you will see 3 generations walking together in the evening, young lads holding their grandmothers elbow while walking it is lovely the respect is obvious and something our young are starting to lose) so any child having their grnadparents look after them surely that might be a sort of insurance for their future stability (this of course is a totally sweeping statement) but i'm sure most people will know what I mean

dgjamison

I don't think its a case of not being able to deal with life going on, its about family, or am I really old fashioned here, I came from a very close family unit even though I came to canada, my mum had a husband and other family at home. I could'nt have left her all alone if it had been different, could you?
and to e honest if it had meant changeing my plans I would have done so, not because she would have wanted it, but i would never have been happy knowing she was on her own, England and Ireland used to have that community spirit, now its dead mores the pity:

dgjamison

Thats what I toought and fair play to you, I truley hope it all works out. Sometimes I read these posts and I don't know if people are deliberatly trying to come across as insensitive (sometimes they come across so smug) yet I would love to have been around when they were waiting for their emigration acceptance, ( I remember how excited I was to get accepted i probably bored everyone to tears) how easy we forget the gut wrenching feelings until it came through, (even if we now have lost that and wonder sometimes if we did the right thing, but we'll never admit it) I wish you AND your mother every success ( after all she is human too though sometimes you would'nt think it shame on some of them) hope you make it, and you enjoy it if you do get here. Let me say it is not eutopia and the people (sometimes you own nationality) are the worst .....anyway I really wish you well good lcuk
