How many hours of work experience do I need as a Live-in Caregiver to apply for permanent residence?

Live-in caregivers working in Canada under the Live-in Caregiver Program need a certain amount of work experience to apply for permanent residence. They can qualify with one of two amounts of experience:

• 24 months of authorized full-time employment; or
