amilies looking to hire a caregiver to look
after children or an elderly or disabled person often need help fast. One solution to this
problem is the live-in caregiver program,
which allows individuals to employ and
bring caregivers into Canada from other
countries. But the process can be difficult to navigate
and getting the paperwork and permits doesn���t happen
quickly. ���It can take up to a couple of years,��� says immigration lawyer Mario Bellissimo, adding that by the time
the caregiver gets to Canada, the employer���s needs may
have already changed.
