How do I become a Live-In-Caregiver

This is our CDN government website that will inform you of the Live-In-Caregiver Program.

The first step in the Live-In Caregiver Program is for the person who wishes to employ a live-in caregiver to send a request to Human Resources and Social Development Canada-Service Canada (HRSDC-Service Canada).

 

HRSDC-Service Canada will check to see that no Canadian citizen or permanent resident in Canada is qualified and available to take the job of live-in caregiver with the future employer. Once this is confirmed, HRSDC-Service Canada will approve the job offer and send the future employer a confirmation letter. The letter confirms that there is a need for this job in Canada and that the employer can proceed to hire a foreign worker to do this job. The letter also confirms that the wages and working conditions offered by the prospective employer meet provincial employment standards and are equivalent to those wages paid to Canadians in the same occupation.

 

HRSDC-Service Canada will tell your employer to send a copy of the confirmation letter to you. You both must also sign an employer–employee contract that meets the labour standards and working conditions in the province where you will be working. The next step is for you to apply for a work permit. Please visit the site for more details.

If you are an employer wanting to hire you may review this web site  on How do I hire a Live-In –Caregiver.

You should familiarize yourself with the Live-in Caregiver Program before spending time or money hiring employees from abroad. Do you need your employee to live in? You may be able to fill your position with a Canadian or a permanent resident if there is no live-in requirement.

 

In addition to the Live-in Caregiver Program requirements, some countries may have additional requirements for their citizens that we do not have here in Canada. For example, some countries have exit requirements whereby their citizens must apply and meet certain requirements to get approval to leave their country. To find out if your live-in caregiver’s home country has additional requirements that may affect you, you should ask your caregiver. You can also contact the embassy for that country here in Canada or check their website.

Eligibility

To hire a live-in caregiver, you must:

have sufficient income to pay a live-in caregiver,

provide acceptable accommodation in your home, and make a job offer that has primary caregiving duties for a child or an elderly or disabled person. (A job offer for a housecleaner, for example, is not acceptable under the Program.) Please visit the site for more details.
