Caregiver

The Caregiver program offers a pathway for caregivers to apply for permanent residence in Canada.

There are 2 streams under this program: Home Child Care Provider pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot. Both pilots offer caregivers the opportunity to obtain an occupation specific-work open work permit, move to Canada with their family members and finally obtain permanent residency upon completion of 2 years work experience in Canada.

To be eligible, a caregiver must:

• Be admissible to Canada
• Have a job offer from a Canadian employer
• Have at least 1 year of post-secondary education in Canada or equivalent
• Obtain a minimum of CLB 5 in English or NCLC of 5 in French
