Petitioning a Caregiver in Canada before returning for residency?

<h3>Petitioning a Caregiver in Canada before returning for residency?</h3>

I am Canadian and planning to return back home to Canada in 2 to 3 years. In my absence, can I apply to petition a caregiver while I am a non resident pending my return to Canada?


<strong>Canada best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by Sidwell</i><br/>NO the caregiver MUST be living in Canada WITH the family - the family MUST be in Canada when they apply.

The caregiver will live in and work for you for 2 years. Once that 2 years is complete they can apply for PR status and get their caregiver work permit changed to an open permit, so they can work for whomever they choose.</p>
