Ten Things to Know about the Live in Caregiver Program
- The Philippines is in the Top 5 Countries of the world whose citizens apply to move to Canada through this program.
- The program is offered publically through Citizenship and Immigration Canada or privately through recruiters.
- The Canadian family actually must register as a business and must obtain a positive Labour Market Opinion first from human resources and skills development Canada.
- The applicant must have at least a high school education, must demonstrate minimum language skills, and must have either training or experience in the field of caregiving.
- The applicant obtains the work permit and only then is allowed to enter Canada.
- After completing the minimum required number of hours of work for a Canadian employer, the Live-In Caregiver can then apply to become a permanent resident.
- The applicant can apply for Permanent Residence from within Canada.
- There are restrictions on the work permit. The Live-In Caregiver does not typically allow dependants or spouses to accompany them during the working period, which can last from 2-4 years. Only after the minimum work has been completed (3900 hours of work) can the Live-In Caregiver include family members to accompany them to Canada.
- The candidate must indicate the existence of the family members on the original work permit application; otherwise, they may not be eligible later due to misrepresentation.
- Work permits need to be extended. The Live-In Caregiver is responsible for maintaining valid status within Canada at all times.
