Live-in Caregiver Program Overview

What Is The Live-in Caregiver Program

This program aims at helping Canadian families with special needs to find a foreign live-in caregiver. The live-in caregiver program exists because there is a market need within Canada for live-in caregivers and there is a shortage of Canadians to provide live-in care work.
