How to Immigrate to Canada as a Nanny

Moving to Canada as a nanny is increasingly popular, and is an excellent life choice for many people. However, Canadian immigration is a complicated legal process, especially if you want to immigrate using a work visa. Canada does offer attractive opportunities for those who plan to live and work in the country using a work visa. If you are looking to move to the US from Canada, see this.

For a foreign worker who wants to immigrate to Canada as a nanny, the government offers the chance to become a permanent resident after he or she has worked as a caregiver for two years.

Steps for Immigration to Canada as a Nanny

Anyone looking to immigrate to Canada as a nanny must fill out the application form for the work permit visa as a live-in caregiver. The government has instituted a live-in caregiver program specifically designed to help workers from outside the country to work as caregivers to address the shortage of domestic help in the country. This same program allows caregivers and nannies to apply for residency after two years of working as a caregiver.

 1. The Application Process for Caregivers

Applicants must have ready documents proving a job offer from a prospective employer in Canada. The company applies for sponsorship, which includes applying for a Labor Market Opinion from Service Canada. This is the approval from the Canadian government after it determines that no Canadian citizen can perform the job for which the applicant is applying. The employer may be required to show proof that he or she has taken steps to hire a Canadian citizen for the position but was not successful in doing so.

Once this is approved, the applicant must then apply for employment authorization from Canadian Immigration. In some cases, the applicant or the employer may be required to submit a signed written contract that describes the specific responsibilities of the candidate as a nanny or caregiver and an overview of the planned work arrangement.

A good handle on English or the ability to understand or speak French may also be required for some parts of Canada.

2. Interview Process

Most foreign workers will be required to attend interviews with embassy officials before the visa is granted. This interview is done to ensure that the caregiver’s employment will have no adverse effects on the employment prospects of other caregivers or nannies in the country. The work permit is valid for two years, within which the foreign caregiver can apply for permanent immigration to Canada.

The legal requirements for immigration to Canada as a nanny may be complicated and require a good grasp of Canadian immigration laws. To avoid hassles and to ensure that you provide all the requirements on time, you need the help of an experienced and skilled lawyer who specializes in Canadian immigration law. Increase your chances of living and working in Canada as a Nanny by working with a lawyer who can help you land the caregiver job you need.

  • Careen

    Hi
    Not sure it was posted before now.I’m from Jamaica. I lived with my husband in Canada for 2 years l. I worked as a LPN for 4 months unfortunately lost my job. My husband went because of my job offer. He was on an open work permit and worked for a year and a half but as a general laborer. I would like to return as a nanny as I have an offer. Can I take my husband with me and since the live in component has changed can we rent a place for ourselves? And since I was on a work permit before will we be allowed to reenter on another work permit? And if I were to become pregnant would I be disqualified?

  • Michaela

    hello. I have a question. I was previously working in Canada for 4 years and I would like to apply for PR. unfortunately, I dont meet the requirements for Canadian experience anymore (1 year in last 3 years) so is it possible, theoretically, find an employer (family) with LMIA and apply as a live in nanny while in Express entry? would the valid job offer increase my points so I could automatically get an invitation to apply for my PR?
    my situation is little bit complicated and I really want to go back but every time I apply there is some change or something else happens and I am getting frustrated about it.

    currently I work as a chef for the last 4 years (2 years while in Canada and now in Scotland)

  • Lamine

    Hello,
    I was just reading the immigration site and noticed this statement:
    “Service Canada has been instructed to refuse to process LMIA applications from employers seeking to hire foreign caregivers exclusively on a live-in basis, except in cases of high medical needs certified by a physician or exceptional circumstances, subject to approval by Service Canada”.

    Does that mean I can not hire a live in nanny unless it is for medical reason? what do they consider exceptional circumstances?

    Thank you,

        http://www.esdc.gc.ca/en/foreign_workers/hire/caregiver/requirements.page

        I also see under the TFW program, nannies do not have to have a high school degree as it used to be under the Live-in Caregiver Program.

    Hi sir,I’m interested in applying for in-home-caregiver visa for Canada.I’m from India.I have 6 months nanny /caregiver training and one year experience in senior home care in India.And I have done IELTS as well.
    My question is that I got my experience before my nanny/caregiver training.Is it ok?Or experience should be shown after training.
    My second question is what is the requirements for IELTS bands under in-home-caregiver programme.

    • Muga Rajbhandari

      Hello Kiran. It is not a problem having the course after your practical experience. The rule is you need either one or the other.

        Secondly,CIC website is showing requirements like either 6 months training or experience.But in India they need training and experience.It shows on their website.Should I need to probe both.If yes,I was getting salary in cash,how I will demonstrate my pay stubs?
        Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    I was living in the US for 9 years and working as a lisenced childcare provider for all that time, cpr and first aid US Red Cross certified.
    I’m Ecuadorian and living in Ecuador at the moment.
    May I qualify for a work permit, and I am able to take my family with me?

    Hello! I’m already teaching English to small children here in Serbia in a private school. We are using Montessori methods and I love my job. However I would love to come to Canada to live and I love working with small children. I don’t know where to start looking for a job??
    I don’t have any nanny school or first aid degree. But I do have experience with educating, babysitting kids and seminars about doing with children of young age. What do I need to be hired as a live-in nanny?

    • Vahe Mirzoyan

      Hello Jovana. In order to apply for a caregiver visa, you would need to take a 6 month course, or have 1 year of paid experience as a caregiver. If you have one of those two requirements, and you have a job offer from an employer in Canada, then we can help you obtain your caregiver visa.

  • Christian Capco

    Hi Sir,
    I already have an employer as a nanny in Alberta Canada, I was told that after 2 years of doing your nanny duties you can apply for Permanent residency and find another job. however, I have heard that there was a new process with the nanny program implemented at 2014. It says that after 2 years of being a nanny, you still have to complete another 2 years in a able for you to apply for another job in Canada or apply for PR. I’m a little confused as my intention is to apply for permanent residency after the 2 year nanny program and find a better paying job. Thank you so much.

    • Vahe Mirzoyan

      Hello Christian. You are correct. The immigration laws are always changing.

  • Jenny

    Hello sir,
    During my visa interview,the visa officer mainly just ask about my work here in Morocco and what will be my task in canada,which is of course a live in caregiver. She did not ask me of what are my intentions in going to canada,never asked me of whether i wil go back to home to my country or not. After all her questions,she gave me back my passport and told me to wait for their call within 2 weeks for the visa stamp and if i wish to become a permanent resident in canada,i can avail for it. I just said “ok” with a shrug. Was that a good sign of approval of my work permit or she is just testing me?

    • Vahe Mirzoyan

      Hello Jenny. Thank you for writing to us. Usually when your application is rejected, they will tell you right away. After the two week waiting period, if you have not heard back from them, you should contact them again to see what the status is.

    is gnm, bsc nursing or m-tech persons are qualified for live in care or nanny visa in canada.Deos canada allow them to take their sposes along with them & on what conditions.

    • Vahe Mirzoyan

      Hello Ajit. The caregiver program does not allow the applicant to spouses with them under the same application. A spouse would have to apply for a visa (work, study, visitor) under his own merit. If your current studies are recognized as equivalent for the the caregiver program they will be ok. You will need to check with a foreign educational credential organization.

  • Jagroop johal

    Hello Sir I am Jagroop from India . I have done nanny course and also have done GNM . I also have two years experience as a staff nurse . I want to apply for Canada as a nanny . Shall I need to have ielts . What is the processing time . I am married with one child and my age is 33 . What are the changes of getting PR and how long shall it take?

    • Vahe Mirzoyan

      Thank you for writing to us Jagroop. You do not have to take the IELTS exam to work as a nanny in Canada. The processing of the Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) that is necessary in order to give you a job offer, takes approximately 6 months. Unfortunately, the work visa for a caregiver does not allow you to bring any dependents with you to Canada. You will be able to apply for Permanent Residence after 2 years of working in Canada.
      Best of luck, Vahe

  • melanie gallardo

    I have employer who is willing to provide lmia. She is not requiring experience as nanny .Do I qualify to gey a positive lmia? If yes! After 2years Do I qualify to apply PR for taking care of the chidren pathway thank you. .

    • Vahe Mirzoyan

      Thank you for writing to us Melanie. It is not up to the employer to decide what the requirements are for a Work Visa for nanny. If the LMIA is for the position of a nanny, then Canadian immigration says that you must have either a 6 months certificate, or 1 year of experience in order to qualify for a caregiver work visa.

In order for us to be able to help you, we will need to know a lot more about the application that you submitted and your situation.

  • Aprilyn Macatangay

    Hi Sir! I have a friend who plans to sponsor me for her son, a 10-year old boy. I am planning to take a course for this. My questions are:
    1.) How long is the processing of my visa? I am from the Philippines
    2.) Is there a possibility that my application will be denied?
    3.) Should I make a regular application to get my visa?

    • Vahe Mirzoyan

      Hello Aprilyn. That is great that you have a job already lined up for you. That is essential in getting the required work permit. The processing time in the Philippines is approximately 90 days. It is impossible to say if an application is going to be denied. The most common reason for an application denial, and we see it all the time, is when someone fills the form in themselves, and some of the information they provide is incomplete of misleading. If you want to give yourself the very best chances, I am going to recommend that you contact us to make an appointment to talk with one of our immigration professionals who will be able to plan the best strategy for you.

  • Mk

    Hi,
    I would like to bring my sister as a nanny for my twins… she has one year experience as a nanny in UAE and living there with her family… my question is if she applies can she bring her own kids with her as a nanny or she has to wait until she gets pr?? Does Canadian immigration allow families to come with their own family?

    • Vahe Mirzoyan

      Thank you for your question. You will have to go through the LMIA process to get your sister a work permit so that she can come to Canada. The work permit itself does not give the right to bring dependents to Canada. Your sister would have to get two years of work experience and then apply for Permanent Residency. When she makes the PR application, she will declare her children as dependents, so that they will all get their PR status. If you need professional assistance in the complex process of LMIA and work permits please fill in this form http://goo.gl/RvRtRK it will give me more information about your situation, and allow me to plan a strategy to get your sister and her children here to Canada with the least delay possible.

      Hello Humjit,

      The live-in caregiver program will enable you to come to Canada and to become a PR after working as a live-in caregiver for two years. Alternatively, your sister can sponsor you under the Family Sponsorship program. Please see http://www.visaplace.com/canadian-immigration/canada-permanent-residence/family-class-immigration/ for more information.
