Caregiver Programs

Under the Caregiver programs eligible candidates can work temporarily or become permanent residents after gaining sufficient experience. Currently, Government of Canada offers two pilots in this category :

  • Home Child Care Provider
  • Home Support worker Pilot

In this program, employers do not require Labour Market Impact Assessments to hire employees, and two years of work experience in Canada is needed to become a permanent resident.
