Live-In Caregiver or LCP

 

Obtaining a Canadian work visa through the caregiver program in order to take care of children, the elderly, or the disabled is one of the methods of obtaining a Canadian work visa, which further leads to obtaining permanent residence for the applicant and his dependent family. This program is a 5-year pilot and accepts 2,750 applicants from each group every year.
