HOME CHILD-CARE PROVIDER PILOT AND HOME SUPPORT WORKER PILOT
An Excellent option for Caregivers and Home Support Workers to immigrate to Canada and earn permanent residency
Canada’s workforce is aging, which is leaving the country with not only several vacancies but it also creates a need for caregivers to assist the elderly.
Recognizing the importance of caregivers for the Canadian community, in June 2019, the Federal government launched two new immigration programs for foreign caregivers who want to work in Canada – The Home Child Care Provider Pilot and The Home Support Worker Pilot.
| The Home Child Care Provider Pilot | The Home Support Worker Pilot |
|---|---|
| This Pilot is designed for foreign nationals with work experience in NOC 4411. | This pilot is designed for foreign nationals with work experience in NOC 4412. |
| Applicants must have provided in-home care to children under the age of 18, whether in their own home or in the employer’s or child’s home. | Applicants must have qualifying work experience as Home Support Workers and related occupations excluding housekeepers. |
| Note: Foster parents are not eligible to apply under the Home Child-Care Provider Pilot. |
FEATURES OF THESE PILOT PROGRAMS
- These two five-year pilot programs let qualified caregivers and their family members come to Canada and apply for permanent residence.
- The application process will be different for each applicant depending on their situation, and qualifying work experience.
- While applying, candidates must submit a work permit application along with the application for permanent residence.
- If candidates meet the requirements, they will receive a Temporary Work Permit.
- This permit is an occupation- restricted open work permit, which allows holders to work as caregivers for any employer as long as they are not blacklisted by the government.
- Once candidates get the required 24 months of work experience, they can send in the proof of experience and immigration authorities will make a final decision on their PR application.
