non-skilled worker to live-in caregiver program

[gwennie]

hi! Is there anybody here in the forum who can help me with my problem? I came here in canada as non-skilled worker (food attendant) and now i am planning to move to the live-in caregiver program because i am eligible to apply. I have all my credentials with me like working in a nursing home for 2 years and having a bachelor of science in nursing in my country. I have already an employer with contract and LMO. I applied for work permit inside canada and i already received my work permit today. However, my friend told me that I sis the wrong way of applying my work permit. I should have applied outside canada like NY. Can anyone has an idea about my case? Thank you so much!! Hope to hear from you guys soon!

Hi,

If you got the work permit why worry? TWP applications outside Canada are for first time work permit applicants. I guess nothing to worry at all

Hi buleg! Thank you for that however the work permit i have now is i cant apply for PR in the future because its like its not under the live-in caregiver program because i applied it inside canada. The right way to do it is to apply outside canada for me to be under the LCP program. Its so confusing.. I dont know why i need to apply outside canada when in fact im already here in canada.
