Caregiver Program

Caregiver Program : In June of 2019, Immigration Canada introduced two new pilot programs to help the support workers to immigrate to Canada. Under these two categories, if you have a valid job offer and if you already have qualifying work experience as a caregiver in Canada and would meet the other eligibility criteria, you would be able to apply for Permanent Residency.

The two programs have different set of skills required to qualify under each category. This pilot program is a 5-year project which aims to help the people who are not within Canada and are skilled and experienced home child care providers and home support workers to be able to immigrate to Canada and ultimately apply for their Permanent Residency.

Home Child Care Provider Pilot : Under this category, the candidate would help the parent look after their chid and help them with the household duties. Under this pilot, the sponsors do not necessarily have to provide a place to live for the candidate which is what makes it different from the previous Live- In Caregiver Program. The following job titles would be eligible to apply under this category:

Home Support Worker Pilot : Under this category, the candidates would be helping the people with disabilities, and individuals in rehabilitation by providing personal care when they are recovering, or are incapacitated in any form or any reason. They would perform duties like prepping meals, feeding, bathing, changing dressings and other routine housekeeping duties. The care is primarily given in the client’s house so mostly the worker would be required to live on premises. The following job titles would be eligible to apply under this category:

Note: The major difference in these pilot programs and the earlier live-in caregiver program is that if you, as a candidate desire to change your employer, you do have the ability to do so.
