Live-In Caregiver Program Canada
The live-in caregiver program Canada allows trained caregivers to find temporary employment in Canada and eventually become permanent residents after working continously under the program for at least two years.
Under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, a live-in caregiver is a person who will reside in the residence of his or her employer and will provide caregiving services to children, or an elderly or a disabled person without any supervision.
To become qualified in the live-in caregive program, the following terms must be met:
1. The employer have to submit to Human Resources Services And Social Development Canada an application for a live-in caregiver in the form of having a Labor Market Opinion (LMO) approval.
2. To satisfy the requirements of an LMO, it is very important that the employer have shown efforts that he or she posted their recruitment needs to Canadian permanent residents and citizens.
3. If there are no Canadian residents willing to take the offer, only then that an application to sponsor a live-in caregiver from abroad could be processed.
After Human Resources And Social Development Canada approves the LMO application of the employer, the candidate would have to satisfy the following requirements to be accepted in the live-in caregiver program:
1. Must have successfully completed a six months course on caregiver.
2. Be at least a graduate of Grade 12 equivalent in Canada.
3. Ability to speak, understand and read French or English.
4. A contract with his/her employer.
