The New Caregiver Program

​

The new caregiver pilot programs will provide home care workers with permanent residence (PR) on arrival in Canada. They will also be allowed to work for organizations that provide temporary or part­-time care for people who are semi-independent or recovering from an injury or illness. This new pathway means that caregivers can more easily find proper work with reliable employers and have clear, straightforward access to permanent resident status as soon as they arrive in Canada.

​

Through these new pilot programs, candidates interested in working in Canada’s home care sector will be eligible to apply if they meet the following criteria:

​

• attain a minimum of level 4 based on the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB)

• hold the equivalent of a Canadian high school diploma

• have recent and relevant work experience

• receive an offer for a full-time home care job
