Hello all,

I want to know if having a visitor status is it possible to switch to a worker status while in Canada?

And how can I apply for live-in caregiver program from within Canada? Do I need my worker visa first?

Thank you very much!!!

You can apply for a Live in caregiver only from your home country. You have to return where you came from and apply from there

how long is your temporary visitor visa valid? do you have a caregiver certificate course and 1 year experience to look after the children or elderly? if so you can hire ask a good immigration lawyer.

i know a friend she applied it outside canada in New york.. she is now under live in caregiver program. hope this help.

It's actually for a friend of mine. She is in Brazil right now and we don't know if it's to apply from outside or inside Canada. If she would come, would be under a visitor visa and try to change here. But I believe it's not accepted, right?

You should note that interview at a Visa office will probably be required, so if she doesn't have a US visa, she will have problems.
