Is this true? Caregivers in Canada may no longer apply for permanent residence?

Is there anyone here who can clarify this??? Thanks in advance!

Where did you get it from?

This has been answered on this board probably at least 5 times now.  It's not true.  It's a rumour.  The rumour apparently stems from some less than honest employment agencies tricking their live-in caregivers to go to Canada on a regular low-skill work visa instead of going under the live-in caregiver program.  They had done this because the low-skill work visa was faster and the employment agencies could collect their fees faster from the poor unsuspecting live-in caregivers.  After 2 years in Canada when these live-in caregivers wanted to apply for PR, they found out that as regular low-skill workers, they were not eligible to apply.  Just make sure you are going in under the correct program and you will be fine.

Thanks for the answer Leon, I was just worried for my friends, who will be applying for their PR under this program soon.

I don't think there is such thing as a "free" visa to canada? And if you come here, unless you are staying with family or friends , you will have to find a place to live and pay rent.
