Live In Caregiver

The Live-in Caregiver Program (LCP) is a great opportunity for personal support workers to find employment in Canada. Live-in caregivers are individuals who reside in the private home of the person they are caring for. To qualify under this category of immigration, the individual must be qualified to provide care for children, elderly persons or disabled persons in their private home without supervision.

There are various requirements that must be met before you may be eligible to come to Canada under the Live-in Caregiver Program. The requirements of what you will need are outlined below.
