Apply for CAREGIVER PROGRAM

IRCC introduced two pilot programs called the Home Child Care Provider and the Home Support Worker Pilot, for caregivers to work temporarily in Canada and to be able to apply for permanent residency. Through these pilot programs, you will be issued an open work permit which is occupation-restricted (i.e., you must work as a caregiver) and which allows you to obtain the necessary 24 months experience, to be eligible for permanent residency. Under this pilot program, your employer does not need to get a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
