What Happens Next?
Complete all
application materials, in French wherever possible, and submit to Scotia
Personnel Ltd. Be sure to include your date of availability, the length of stay
you would like, and a list of all child care related experience. Your file will
be reviewed by potential Host families, and you will have the opportunity to
speak with them directly, and the choice to accept or decline any position. Once
you have accepted a position, the visa can be arranged between yourself and the
host family; the host family will also pre-arrange your language course. While
the host family can pre-pay for this course, you will reimburse the cost upon
your arrival. The agency will keep in contact with you throughout the process
and assist wherever possible.
