Care Giver

Canada’s two new pilot programs for caregivers are accepting applications. Foreign caregivers coming to work in Canada will no longer have to leave close family members behind and will have a more straightforward pathway to Canadian permanent residence, thanks to the new programs: The Home Child Care Provider and Home Support Worker pilots.

Caregivers can only receive a work permit if they have a valid job offer in Canada and it meets standard criteria. Once working in Canada, caregivers will be able to begin gaining the required two years of Canadian work experience to apply for permanent residence.
