Live-in-Caregiver Training Program

Techocan has newly established a language and training facility to prepare Chinese nurses, teachers and caregivers for acceptance into the Canadian Live-in-Caregiver program. There are two aspects to the training;

a.    Language Training

In order to be accepted into the Canadian Live-in-Caregiver Program, the Chinese caregiver must successfully pass an interview in English at the Canadian Embassy in Beijing. The purpose of the interview is to determine whether the applicant’s English ability is sufficient to allow the caregiver to function independently in the Canadian home.

b.       Employment Training

The second aspect of the training program involves familiarizing the Chinese caregiver with Canadian employer expectations for a Live-in-Caregiver. The applicant is taught how to care for children, the elderly and the disabled, according to Canadian standards of health and safety.

This segment of the training is also essential in assisting the applicant with passing the Live-in-Caregiver Program interview at the Canadian consulate in Beijing. Many of the questions asked by the interviewing officer will involve areas of health, safety, first aid and emergency procedures.
