If you receive an email from a Richmond Roberts do not respond. Someone using this or a similar name is frequently contacting all the caregivers advertised on my site saying he wants a caregiver for his son, or his family, etc. He does not use good English and he is careless with his spelling and grammar. He often uses the phrase "do well to send me your resume". This is not a legitimate job offer. I do not know if he is just playing games or if he is trying to scam people. Either way...he is just playing with you.
On the same or a similar note, I have heard from caregivers advertising on this page that they are receiving emails saying that they need to send money to initiate some part of a job process. Never send money to anyone who contacts you in this way. You will just be throwing your money away!
Another CAUTION TO ALL CAREGIVERS

How then can we will be garantee to pay to your right administration. Secondly I have some body in Nigeria who has OND Diploma in Civil engineering who wish to go into live in caregiver career in CANADA. He can pay all the finiancial involvement of this programm if he can be sure of the success of the visa application as most time your embassy turn down people. Do your institution have any role in ensuring the success of the visa application of your legitimate accepted candidates and in what way will the institution play their role. When do this programm start in the year and How long do you think it will take for the visa processing after the fees have been paid to your administration. Please this guy is being sponsored by his senior brother, is there any negative effect, this will have in his status in regards to the visa application. God bless you. Anthony.

I do not understand your first sentence at all. My warning was directed to people who post on my notice board and who then receive so called "job offers" from people who are not legitimate employers When people post their availability on this (or any other) notice board...by making it possible for legitimate employers to contact them, they also make it possible for illegitimate employers to contact them. As always in life, you are responsible for yourself and if you choose to believe something that seems too good to be true, or if you overlook obvious warning signs because you really want something to be true even though, if you paid attention, you would know it didn't feel right, then you can't blame anyone else if you get into trouble. There are no guarantees in this situation.
However, that has nothing to do with the fact that this is a legitimate school. I tell the truth to the extent that I know it and I do not scam anyone. However, you still need to do your due diligence. You can not believe that just because I say it. In response to the rest of your statement...I have no control over immigration decisions. I issue Letters of Acceptance to people who qualify for the training and who pay the registration fee. Whether or not they get their visa application's approved is something I have no control over at all. I warn those who, through my experience I believe will be denied, that they are likely just wasting their money. If they want to go ahead and try anyway, that is their choice. And having a diploma in civil engineering in no way convinces me that someone will make a good caregiver. It does not demonstrate an interest in caring for others. For me, that is simply a sign that someone is trying to use the Live-in Caregiver Program for their own purposes. It is not enough to want to be in Canada. To be a good caregiver you must care about others and you must be willing to serve. For many (men in particular) this concept is a shock. Finally, as I have already mentioned elsewhere, in my experience a man from Nigeria (and from several other countries where there is a lot of pressure on the Canadian Consulates for visas) has almost no chance of being approved a visa permitting him to come to Canada to study caregiving. |

Today a man is contacting all the caregiver who have posted on my site claiming to be Dr.Schmidt D. Bosch. He may be a legitimate employer but he is not a native English speaker and for a Doctor, as he claims to be, his English is very poor. If you choose to respond to his offer of employment, be very careful (as you should always be). Do not send him or anyone else who contacts you through the web any money and do not give him personal information.
Some people think it is fun to mislead others and others do it for more than a warped sense of what is fun. |
