Its easier for high-skilled temporary workers to bring over their families while working in Canada than it is for those in low-skilled categories. High-skilled workers can also apply to become permanent residents under the Federal Skilled Worker Program or the Canadian Experience program, set up in 2008. Low-skilled workers must qualify under Provincial Nominee Programs. For low-skilled workers, their best opportunity for permanent status is to apply through Provincial Nominee Programs. Some programs allow low-skilled foreign workers in designated industries to become nominated for permanent residency by their employers. Live-in caregivers can apply for permanent status after accumulating over two years of work experience. Under the new rules they will have four years to meet this requirement. They may also avail their overtime working hours to apply for PR earlier. They will become eligible to apply for PR after working for two years at regular full-time rates or after accumulating 3,900 hours over a minimum of 22 months with a maximum of 390 overtime hours.
