Monika Stoeger: Kerstin Littin

Federal Government Dept: Instead of waiting endlessly to get a nanny through the federal government s red-tape-ridden foreign caregiver program, they just hired a young German au pair here on a working holiday visa, according to The Star. It s that perspective that casts doubt on how well the cumbersome live-in caregiver program LCP is serving Canadian needs or even how long it will continue. For Littin, hiring Monika Stoeger meant no long wait to get a labour market opinion or visa processing and kerstin Littin and husband Hamish were juggling two full-time jobs with caring for their 7-year-old daughter, Lily, when they hit on a quick and inexpensive solution. It s much easier, much more flexible. Why wouldn t you do it? said Littin, a software designer. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
