Overview: Caring for others can open the door to Canada. The Live‑In Caregiver Program offers a legal pathway to work and live while supporting families in need. It’s more than a job — it’s your bridge to a new life. But this opportunity is currenly closed.
Live-in caregivers may work temporarily in Canada if they 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.
