Can Live-in Caregiver Live Outside Of The Employers Home?

There have been changes to the live in caregiver program. Caregivers now have the option of living outside of the employer’s house. Caregivers now have the option to apply to two new pathways for permanent residence. This will reduce workplace vulnerability and provide better opportunities for the caregivers.

In order to use the live out program the worker would have to apply for a regular work permit rather than their LCP work permit. They can choose to go through LCP through either the caring for children pathway or caring for people with high medical needs pathway.
