Guide: How to Apply for Work Permit From Outside Canada (China)

LIVE-IN CAREGIVER / CAREGIVER PROGRAM

If you have not worked in Canada under the Live-in Caregiver Program and your employer’s Labour Market Impact Assessment application was received by Service Canada after November 30, 2014: you must apply for a regular work permit under the Caregiver Program
If you have not worked in Canada under the Live-in Caregiver Program and your employer’s Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) application was received by Service Canada on or before November 30, 2014: you may apply for a Live-in Caregiver Program (LCP) work permit (instructions are on this page)
If you already have a LCP work permit and you want to extend it or change jobs to work with another employer who agrees to a live-in arrangement: you may apply for a Live-in Caregiver Program (LCP) work permit.
If you choose to live out of your employer’s home, you will be leaving the Live-in Caregiver Program: You will need to apply for a regular work permit. Your current or future employer will need a new Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) before you apply. The work you do on a live-out basis may count towards the work requirement in order to apply through either the Caring for Children or Caring for People with High Medical Needs pathway.
