Working as a Live-in Caregiver in Canada
Posted by admin on 08 Feb 2008 at 08:20 am | Tagged as: Caregiver
The Live-in Caregiver Program is a special program whose objective is to bring workers to Canada to do live-in work as caregivers when there are not enough Canadians to fill the available positions.
A live-in caregiver is someone who provides care to children, the elderly or the disabled in a private household.
Successful applicants receive an employment authorization allowing them to work in Canada as live-in caregivers. After two years of employment, which must be completed within three years of the caregiver’s arrival in Canada, program participants can apply in Canada to become permanent residents. They may be granted permanent resident status provided they meet certain requirements.
There are three main requirements you will have to meet to qualify under the Live-in Caregiver Program:
- Successful completion of the equivalent of a Canadian high school education. This requirement will help to ensure that participants who apply for permanent residence after two years will be able to succeed in the general labour market. Studies indicate that the majority of new jobs in Canada require at least a high school education.
- Six months of full-time training or 12 months of experience in paid employment in a field or occupation related to the job you are seeking as a live-in caregiver. You may have gained your training or experience in early childhood education, geriatric care,pediatric nursing or first aid, to name just a few areas. You may have completed your training as part of your formal education. In order to meet the criteria for experience, you must have completed one year of full-time paid employment, including at least six months of continuous employment with one employer, in that field or occupation. This experience must have been obtained within the three years immediately prior to the day on which you submit an application for an employment authorization to a visa officer.
- Ability to speak, read and understand either English or French. You must be able to function independently in a home setting. For example, you must be able to contact emergency services if required and to understand labels on medication. You will be unsupervised for most of the day and may be put in a position of having to communicate with someone outside the home. A good knowledge of English or French will also enable you to read and understand for yourself what your rights and obligations are.

We live in a house near Surrey, and about a 50 minute drive from the larger port city of Vancouver. At the end of a dead-end street, the property is very quiet and you will enjoy a lovely view of the ocean from your cottage. The cottage is a small duplex, fully furnished and private. The other half of the duplex is presently being used as a studio and is unoccupied.
We are still in the process of restoring the facilities here which had been neglected for several years. Our house has four bedrooms and is a low “rancher” style. It is surrounded by shrubs, lawns and decking and there is a small swimming pool.
Our son, Richard, is six and a half and very active and energetic. He loves organized sports and swimming but also enjoy music, books and drawing. He plays the violin and is very sociable and outgoing.
Your household duties will ensure a pleasant atmosphere for Richard to grow in and you will be responsible for supervising him for a couple of hours each day.
We are looking for an honest, reliable and hardworking person who would enjoy living a country life, yet is able to appreciate the advantages of a town and city close by. We need a good housekeeper, someone who will take pride in a clean and well-organized household but who will also enjoy spending part of each day in the company of a lively child. We want someone who will plan to adapt slowly to a new life here in Canada and who will make friends slowly and carefully as well.

Dear Jonathan,
I am a mother of three kids, ages 14, 12 & 10, here in the Philippines. I would like to try my luck in another country, preferably an English speaking one. I came across your ad and here I am trying to check if you’ll be interested in hiring me. I drive, and I am quite handy when it comes to child care and household maintenance. I would just like to inquire on the living arrangement and if the employee may be allowed to earn thru maybe other jobs, seeing that my purpose in seeking a job abroad is to hopefully bring my family along in the future. I have always been honest and I see it best to always start with a clean slate. Please reply using my email address. Thank you very much.
Regards,
Yen
