Hello,

I am working in canada on a noc b position, I would like to become either a live-out or a live-in caregiver. As I already have a work permit,
is that a way an employer can apply for a normal work permit, that is not part of the live in program?

If I did go through the live-in caregiver program, could I just apply to change my current work permit or would i have to leave the country and restart the process again(medicals,etc..)?

thanks

Do you have experience as a nanny or live in caregiver or have you taken a care giving training course? To be part of the LCP you can send your application to the US (NYC or LA), then "flagpole" to obtain your WP.

You can also apply as a temporary foreign worker but would have to leave Canada after four years of gainful employment. As a temporary foreign worker you can send your WP to Vegreville together with the necessary docs (your current WP, new LMO, etc)
