Dec. 12, 2009: Minister Kenny proposes Significant Changes to the Live – In Caregiver Program

Highlights:

  • LCP Caregivers will no longer need to undergo a second medical when applying for Permanent Resident Status.
  • LCP caregivers who work overtime will be allowed to apply for Permanent Resident Status sooner – after 3900 hours of work, the equivalent of a standard work week for 2 years.
  • Increased time LCP caregivers are allowed to complete the 24 months of work required from 3 years to 4 years.

The proposed regulations also require employers of Live-In Caregivers to pay for :

  • Travel costs of Caregiver to Canada
  • Medical insurance coverage until LCP caregivers become eligible for provincial health coverage
  • Workplace safety insurance and any recruiting fees owed to third parties.
