Canada and Permanent Residency

Harpal Singh: In her seven-plus years in Canada — including two years looking after an elderly couple in Oakville — the former teacher from India has had to cope alone with the grief from a miscarriage and recent surgery for septic kidney stones, according to Toronto Star. I got married in India after I met the requirements for permanent residency, said Chhabra, 44, who came to Canada in 2009 under the old caregiver program and married her husband, Harpal Singh, in 2011. Chhabra is one of tens of thousands of people caught in a processing backlog for permanent resident status under Canada now defunct live-in caregiver program. She learned she was pregnant when she returned to Canada, but said she found the wait for her residency so stressful she lost the baby. No one is able to look after me. I am in Canada without my husband, without my family. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
