Hello
I am looking for any organizations in Bangalore or courses that help train domestic workers into other professions (eg: tailoring, cooking, elderly care etc)
My housekeeper who works for me 3 times a week is getting older (now in early 50s) and her health is failing as the physical labour is getting too much. She works in garbage collection in an apartment for 4 hours then cleaning the community spaces then works in three houses
Apart from helping with money and food in addition to her salary i am wondering if there are any NGOs or services to help such workers transition to other occupations by building skills. Any help/ advice is appreciated.

I applied from VFS Bangalore and the passport reached IRCC Delhi on 12 June
Portal shows an update today 26 June with eligibility review complete and counterfoil details now updated. The expiry shows my passport expiry date- is that the same when the visa expires too or that will be different date?

When can I expect them to send my passport back to VFS Bangalore?

I love Erhiopian food and I know there are some nice restaurants in Paris (better ones than where I live at least!) Any suggestions for one in particular?

Also as it's a communal style eating, anyone want to join to share a meal? My friends here are not too keen.

Same as in the headline
