No - you can't. Live in caregiver work permits cannot be issued at the border. You will have to apply for the work permit through the New Delhi visa office.

A TRV is not a "while you get the work permit" kind of paper. If CIC sees that invitation letter they can perfectly assume you could be working illegally, and in fact why would you need to come to Canada if you can't work right away? That would be nonsense, therefore it will be rejected.
