With the recently announced new pathways to permanent residence for caregivers, expect many scammers to capitalize on this. Do not be a victim.

There is no official Au Pair Program in Canada. The closest program would be the Working Holiday Program (International Experience Canada). This is applicable if your country of citizenship have an agreement with Canada that allows you to apply for an IEC work permit

There is currently no agreement between Canada and the Philippines for the Working Holiday Program. If your country of citizenship does not have an agreement with Canada, you may still apply for working holiday visa by using a recognized organization
