Caregivers
i. Permanent residence for caregivers- Home Child Care Provider Pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot
Where a caregiver meets the eligibility requirements, and has received a job offer either as a home child care provider or a home support worker, they are able to apply for permanent residence through the pilot programmes applicable to those occupations. The process involves obtaining an open work permit which allows the caregiver to gain the work experience required to be eligible for permanent residence in future.
ii. Temporary work for caregivers
We assist caregivers who are presently working in Canada to extend their work permits through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program subsequent to their employer obtaining a positive Labour Markets Impact Assessment.
The Recent changes to this program are that no new work permit applications for in-home caregivers will be processed in the event of the following:
- The application is made from outside Canada.
- The application is made through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
- The applicant will not be working in Quebec.
- The employer applied for a Labour Market Impact Assessment on or after June 18 2019.
