any help you guys can give me would be awsome and i look forward to reading the responses.
 
It's not rocket science to work as a live-in caregiver, you don't need a 5 page resume or anything. You can look for live in caregiver jobs here: http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/JobResult_en.aspx?ProvId=99&Keyword=live+in+caregiver&Sources=JobBank,Government&Student=No

Some of these advertisers are looking for a nanny for their kids, some might be looking for a caregiver for an elderly or disabled person and some are placement agencies. You will just have to read through them. I don't know how long it takes to get a work permit for a caregiver but you would get one for 2 years and then renew. You can apply for your PR and open workpermit also after 24 months of work, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/caregiver/extend-stay.asp
 
can you advise me any other ways for me to get a work permit in canada in the alberta arena with my resume besides being a caregiver and how long will it take and cost.
 
Start by applying to different job postings. In other words, find an employer willing to hire you, and go from there.

God bless you!
