Live-In Caregivers

Immigration options for caregivers and the families who hire them.

The Canadian immigration law regime includes special provisions for immigration to Canada by Live-In Caregivers (i.e. nannies, elder-care workers). Those seeking to enter Canada to care for children or the elderly should consider the Live-In Caregiver Program, which offers a gateway to immigrate to Canada as a nanny. A caregiver or nanny who meets minimum education and language requirements will become eligible for permanent residence after working full-time in Canada as a nanny or other live-in caregiver for a minimum of two years on a valid work permit.

Our team of Canadian immigration law professionals can help applicants and potential applicants determine their eligibility for the Live-In Caregiver immigration to Canada. We can help to prepare strong applications, and address any complications along the way. We can also assist Canadian families seeking to hire a foreign nanny or other live-in caregiver to assess their options.
