Hi guys, I am currently in Canada on a tourist visa and I am interested in the caregiver program. I have a niece that is 5 years old, and i have been taking care of her when her parents go to work. I was wondering if my sister(the mother) could issue me a job offer. I have all the other requirements. Thanks

First issue is that you are working illegally on a visitor visa. You don’t qualify for the new program at the moment.

Doesn’t matter if you don’t get paid .
It’s still illegal work .
If you weren’t doing it then they’d being paying someone to sit the kids .

And if they weren’t having anyone do the work prior to you being here , then you aren’t needed . It’s a job of convenience.

People on “ tourist visas “ don’t take care of children .
Tourist visas aren’t to be used for this reason , and you’ve misrepresented on what you’d be doing in Canada

Guaranteed that if you told immigration you’d be taking care of children while you’re here on your “ tourist visa “ it would have been denied

What you’re doing is typically a paid service

I've learned recently that Canada considers you are doing "illegal work" by coming to Canada on a visitor visa and doing something that other people could be doing for money. Put in another way, if you didn't come to Canada, your family would have to hire (and pay) someone to take care of them, so you're taking away someone's opportunity to work. I understand the though of "helping your own family", but that's the way Canada sees it.

Are you staying in the home for free? Eating their food? That would be considered payment.

Is Licensed day home part of caregiver program 2025 or not??

No. That would be ECE positions, not child care.

This is straight from someone else who was planning on doing unpaid work in exchange for a place to stay

It constitutes unpaid work

And it doesn’t matter who you’re doing it for ….. it’s illegal and on breech of the terms & conditions of one’s visitor visa

Refused entry into Canada , straight to a immigration lockup in the USA
