Work Permits for Foreign Live-in Caregivers
In Ontario, employers wishing to employ foreign live-in caregivers are currently not required to advertise as there is no need to demonstrate to HRSDC that the employer is unable to find a suitable employee from within Canada before submitting the application to HRSDC.  Once the signed offer of employment with a signature of acceptance from the employee is obtained, the application can be submitted to HRSDC for review.  Once the offer of employment is confirmed by HRSDC, the foreign live-in caregiver may apply for a work permit at the visa office responsible for his/her country of citizenship.  After working in Canada for two years as a live-in caregiver, an application for permanent residence can be submitted from within Canada on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.

Hello

I am new to this forum. So please bear with me. I am planning to apply for foreign Live-in caregiver. So does this rule still applies that you dont have to advertise to prove that you couldnt hire locally, before your application to HRSDC.

Thank you

KPD, this is an almost three year old post... These days you do need to apply for HRSDC (at least in Ontario).
