You can apply for a work permit to go with your new LMO.  When you get it, you can change employment.

Hi

You can apply for a work permit to go with your new LMO.  When you get it, you can change employment.

Except that s/he is applying on the LCP, and doesn't have the experience or training see:


At least six months' training, or at least one year of full-time paid work experience in the past three years

To claim work experience, you need to have worked for one year, including at least six months of continuous employment for the same employer in a field or occupation similar to what you will do as a live-in caregiver. This experience must have been within the three years immediately before the day on which you make an application for a work permit as a caregiver.

To claim training, it must be full-time training in a classroom setting. Areas of study could be early childhood education, geriatric care, pediatric nursing or first aid.
