Hi Grace,

You may be eligible to apply to the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program managed under the Express Entry (EE) system, an online application system. Please visit the website of the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the immigration authority of Canada to see whether you are eligible:https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/works.html

If you can find a Canadian employer who would offer you a job as a caregiver, you may apply for a work permit as well as the permanent residence at the same time - you need to work at a lower level position though: either child care provider or home support worker. Check here to see whether it suits you: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/caregivers.html

If you think about working in Canada, here's the information for you: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada.html
