Live-In Caregiver Program

Can I study in Canada while I am a live-in caregiver?

If the course or program you want to take lasts more than six months, you will need to apply for a study permit. It is important to remember that you are in Canada to work as a live-in caregiver.

You can take non-credit special-interest courses without a study permit.

You can download and print the application for a study permit from Find an application form or guide in the I Need To… section on the right-hand side of this page. You need the study permit application form.

You must pay a processing fee for your study permit.
