  3. Live-in Caregiver Program Details Live-in caregivers are individuals who are qualified to provide care for children, elderly persons or persons with disabilities in private homes without supervision. Both the employer and the employee must follow several steps to meet the requirements of the Live-In Caregiver Program. In order to qualify as a live-in caregiver in Canada, you must meet 3 minimum requirements set for Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC).  You must meet all of these requirements in order to be considered eligible for the Live-in Caregiver Program. 

  4. 1. Successful completion of the equivalent of Canadian secondary school education.

  5. Exactly how the equivalency translates to your level of education depends upon your country’s education system.  You should check with your local Canadian Embassy or Consulate to see exactly what minimum level of education you require from your country of permanent residence in order meet the requirement of Canadian secondary school completion.  This requirement ensures that LCP participants that apply for permanent residency after two years of successful employment will be able to compete and find work in the general labour market.

  6. 2. Six months of full-time training or twelve months of full-time paid employment in an occupation or field that is related to the job of a live-in caregiver.

  7. In order to claim training, you must have attended full-time training in a classroom setting.  Areas of study can include childhood education, pediatric nursing, geriatric care or first aid. If you claim experience, you need to have been employed for one year with at least six continuous months of that year employed with one employer.  This employment must be in an occupation or field similar to that of what you would do employed as a live-in caregiver.  Additionally, this work experience must be acquired within three years before the day on which you submit your work permit application.

  8. 3. Fluency in either the English or French Language Your must be able to speak, read and understand English or French so that you are able to work independently in your employer’s home.  Since you will be unsupervised for most of the day, you may have to communicate with someone outside for the home.  For example, what if you need to call emergency services?  Or, you may need to read and understand medication labels as part of your job.  A solid knowledge of either language will also ensure that you are able to read and understand what your rights and obligations are as a live-in caregiver.
