Changes to Canada’s Caregiver Program took effect on November 30, 2014. Find out how this might affect you:

• If you have not worked in Canada under the Live-in Caregiver Program and your employer’s Labour Market Impact Assessment application was received by Service Canada after November 30, 2014:
• you must apply for a regular work permit.
• If you have not worked in Canada under the Live-in Caregiver Program and your employer’s Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) application was received by Service Canada on or before November 30, 2014:
•  you may apply for a Live-in Caregiver Program (LCP) work permit (instructions are on this page).
• If you already have a LCP work permit and you want to extend it or change jobs to work with another employer who agrees to a live-in arrangement:
• you may apply for a Live-in Caregiver Program (LCP) work permit.
• If you choose to live out of your employer’s home, you will be leaving the Live-in Caregiver Program:
• You will need to apply for a regular work permit. Your current or future employer will need a new Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) before you apply.
• The work you do on a live-out basis may count towards the work requirement in order to apply through either the Caring for Children or Caring for People with High Medical Needs pathway.

Live-in caregivers are individuals who are qualified to provide care for children, elderly persons or persons with disabilities in private homes without supervision. Live-in caregivers must live in the private home where they work in Canada.
Both the employer and the employee must follow several steps to meet the requirements of the Live-in Caregiver Program (LCP).

You must meet certain requirements to be eligible for the Live-in Caregiver Program in Canada.
You will need:

- A positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from an employer in Canada
- A written contract with your future employer, signed by you and the employer
- Successful completion of the equivalent of a Canadian secondary school education
- At least six months’ training or at least one year of full-time paid work experience as a caregiver or in a related field or occupation (including six months with one employer) in the past three years
- Good knowledge of English or French
- A work permit before you enter Canada
