For caregivers:
At Vamos a Canada we are eager to help you find
a family to work with in Canada. If successful,
you could begin working in Canada as little as
a few weeks and after 2 years, you will have the
option of applying for Permanent Residence.
To know more about requirements and how the program
works visit our Website www.vamosacanada.com
If you would like to gain
valuable experience working in Canada by updating
your career knowledge and enjoy life in a vastly diverse
country, then our service is exactly for you! Canada
is a large and beautiful country with a high standard
of living and offers many unique opportunities for professional
development. If you have experience or schooling
related to health, education or other relevant instruction,
then Canada needs you!
There are several families looking for someone just
like you. You will become an extended member of a Canadian
family for at least 1 year and will receive remuneration
for your work. The family will pay you at least the
minimum wage, as stipulated by the Province where you
find employment.
