Résumé (anglais)

Key Points: * There have been significant increases in arrivals through the Live-In caregiver Program (LCP) in the late 2000s, and an increasing number of child dependents arriving to join their parent. * Data on entry into the LCP suggests that high levels of immigration in the LCP category will continue in the coming years. * Although a majority of principal applicants are aged between 20-40, an increasing minority are aged over 40. In recent years, LCP principal applicants are also more likely to be married than in the past. * The overwhelming majority of LCP principal applicants are women, and are from the Philippines, although a small proportion of men, and Indian-born immigrants, have arrived in recent years. * Ontario is heavily over-represented as a destination province for LCP immigrants, while Quebec is under- represented. * The educational level of LCP principal applicants has increased steadily over the years, and is now very high. In 2009, 63 per cent of LCP principal applicants held a bachelors degree or higher (a much higher proportion than for other immigration categories).
