HI,
MY PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYER HAS A 20 YR OLD SON AND A 15 YR OLD DAUGHTER. IS SHE STILL QUALIFIED TO SPONSOR A LIVE IN CARE GIVER??

I have never seen a maximum age for a child to have a live-in caregiver.  A child becomes an adult in Canada at age 18.  Now, I suppose it is not common to have a live-in caregiver for a 15 yo. but they might have a good reason for it, maybe they work nights and don't want the 15 yo. to be alone in the house in case the 20 yo. sibling is not home.

ARE THOSE KINDS OF REASONS ACCEPTABLE?? CAUSE BOTH THE PARENTS ARE WORKING FULLTIME AND THE 20 YR OLD GOES TO UNIVERSITY DOWNTOWN HE'S JUST HOME DURING THE WEEKENDS AND SCHOOL BREAKS.

Hi. I am friends with some live-in caregivers and the usual age of the kids they are taking care of are usually newborns to 13 yr olds. If your child has special needs and it is necessary to have continuos care....then yes even if the age is over 18. But a 20 yr old going to university and a 15 yr old who can take care of herself....it may not be a viable reason to need a live-in caregiver.

IS THERE SUCH THING AS HOUSE KEEPING CATEGORY???
