As a live-in caregiver, you can apply for an open work permit when you apply for permanent residence under the Live-in Caregiver Class.
You must also have:
* held valid work permits under the program for two years or more; and
* worked for at least 3,900 hours or 2 years as a live-in caregiver within no more than 4 years.
Send your work permit application in the same envelop as your permanent residence application before your current work permit expires.
An open work permit allows you to work for any employer for the length of time specified on the work permit.

Internships offer usually one discipline-specific, supervised, structured paid or unpaid, and for academic credit work experience or practice placement.
Work Experience intersperses one or two work terms (typically full-time) into an academic program, where work terms provide experience in a workplace setting related to the student’s field of study and/or career goals.
Community Service Learning (CSL) integrates meaningful community service with classroom instruction and critical reflection to enrich the learning experience and strengthen communities. In practice, students work in partnership with a community-based organization to apply their disciplinary knowledge to a challenge identified by the community.
Field Placement provides students with an intensive part-time/short term intensive hands-on practical experience in a setting relevant to their subject of study. Field placements may not require supervision of a registered or licensed professional and the completed work experience hours are not required for professional certification. Field placements account for work-integrated educational experiences not encompassed by other forms, such as co-op, clinic, practicum, and internship.
