Your PGWP is ending? If you have family in Canada with a young child, they may be able to hire you and help you stay.
In-Home Caregiver Work Permit
In-Home Caregiver is a work permit where a Family or Friends in Canada hires you to care for their child.
Many people do not know that a trusted connection in Canada can open a work permit. If you have a friend or relative who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, with a child under 18 and steady income, they may be able to hire you as their in-home caregiver. We prepare the full application for you, before your permit ends.

Did not know
Many people do not know this. If your relative or friend is a citizen or PR with a young child, they may be able to hire you as a caregiver.
The clock
This route needs some lead time. The sooner we start, the safer your dates are before your permit ends.
Not sure
That is what the free check is for. They need a child under 18, steady income, and a real need for childcare. We check and tell you honestly.
The family
That is normal. We explain the whole process to your family in plain words, so they know exactly what to do.
"Just study?"
School is one path, but it is not the only one. If you have the right family connection, this route may let you keep working instead of paying high tuition fees.
Every one of these has a real answer. Getting the small details right is what makes the difference, and that is exactly what we do.

The details
Here is the caregiver route in plain words, and how to know if it fits you.
Care
A family in Canada hires you to care for their child.
Family-based
This route works through someone you already know. A friend or relative in Canada who is a citizen or PR, and who needs childcare, becomes your employer. We check that they qualify, explain their part in plain words, and prepare your work permit.
Your family member
Under 18, needs care
Around $80,000 advised
Wait times change
Good to know: this is an employer-specific work permit. Both your family member (the employer) and your job must meet the rules. No result is promised, and rules can change.
Brightlight does not give you a job, find you an employer, or arrange caregiver placements. You need a real family member or friend who qualifies and wants to hire you. Once you do, we check if you fit and prepare your work permit application. Anyone who offers to sell you a job is a warning sign.

A friend or relative in Canada who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, has a child under 18 who needs childcare, and has steady income to pay your wages.
No. We are not a job agency. You need a real family member or friend who qualifies and wants to hire you. Then we check if you fit and do the paperwork. Anyone who offers to sell you a job is a warning sign.
There is no fixed number, but a family income of around $80,000 is a good guide. They must be able to truly afford a caregiver. On the free check we look at the full picture.
Maybe not, but time matters. This route needs some lead time. The sooner we start, the safer your dates are. The free check will tell you the truth about your timing.
