Live-in caregivers are qualified
professionals who can provide care in private homes,
without supervision, for children, elderly people or
those with disabilities.
Live-in caregivers stay in the private home where they
work for the duration of their employment.

process:

b) Send a direct message to candidates with your
name, requirements, and contact details.
c) Candidates respond directly by email or phone.
d) Interview candidates remotely to choose the right
caregiver for you.
e) Select a suitable candidate. Select a caregiver
who has specific experience and skills in childcare,
elderly care or special needs qualifications.
Candidates with correct qualifications are legally
required for the hiring process.
- Obtain a Labour Market Opinion (LMO) from Human
Resources and Skills Development Canada. The LMO
allows your chosen caregiver to apply for a work
permit, and normally takes about 6-7 weeks
(including the required advertisement period). For
more information on LMOs,

- Send the LMO to your caregiver, who brings it to
the nearest Canadian embassy to apply for a work
permit. Some Canadian embassies process applications
quicker than others. For details, contact a Canadian
embassy in caregiver's country directly (by email), who are known
for their responsiveness and are happy to help with
any queries.
Typically the entire process will take no longer than
4-6 months.
