You need to find an employer in Canada first.
 
Where to find?
Is there some web site where I can search for family? Can someone give me link.
Thank you.
 
Can somebody tell me web site - link through which you can find the family?

Because Google has hundreds of them, which site is the best, and safe.
That's why I asked.
 
Okay, are you eligible? Check here http://www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/work/caregiver/index.asp

If you are interested in working in Canada as a nanny, caregiver or au pair, the Live-in Caregiver Program may be suitable for you.

Live-in caregivers are individuals who are qualified to provide care for children, elderly persons or persons with disabilities in private homes without supervision. Live-in caregivers must live in the private home where they work in Canada.

There are four main requirements you must meet to qualify under the Live-in Caregiver Program:

You must have successfully completed the equivalent of a Canadian high school education.
You must have six months of full-time training in a classroom setting or twelve months of full-time paid employment, including at least six months of continuous employment, within the past 3 years, with one employer in a field or occupation related to the job you are seeking as a live-in caregiver.
You must be able to speak, read and understand either English or French at a level that allows you to function independently in a home setting.
You must have a written employment contract between you and your future employer. The contract defines your job duties, hours of work, salary and benefits.

Obtaining an offer of employment in Canada

In order to work in Canada as a live-in caregiver, you must first locate a prospective employer in Canada. The visa office cannot assist you in locating an employer in Canada. You are not required to use a placement agency for the purpose of locating an employer.

Once you have located a prospective employer in Canada who wishes to employ a live-in caregiver, your employer must send a request to Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC)/Service Canada.

Then, ESDC/Service Canada provides a labour market impact assessment (LMIA) to the employer and Citizenship and Immigration Canada. The LMIA is an assessment of the likely impact that the hiring of the foreign worker may have on the Canadian labour market. Your employer will send a copy of the LMIA to you.

You both must then sign an employer–employee contract that meets the labour standards and working conditions in the province where you will be working.
Applying for a work permit

Once you have obtained a signed contract and a positive labour market impact assessment (LMIA), your next step is for you to apply for a work permit at this visa office.
 
Thank you polara69.

I went to agency in my country to aplly for caregiver program.
And I know that I'm eligible. Because they check my aplication and accept it.

But,
They told me, that it is so many aplications, and a little family who need a caregiver. So I have to wait to be accepted in program. Maybe six months to wait to take my aplication in.


That's the reason why I wanna try to aplly by myself on this program.

Where to find family?
I don't have friends, or family in Canada.
Is there some site where I can put my profile, that family can choose me?

Thank you, again.
