Canada is a country that acknowledges caregivers’ vital job. These are the workers who help our children, our elderly and those who need care. Therefore, Canada maintains a number of initiatives to help caregivers find jobs and permanently live.
The Interim Pathway is a temporary program for caregivers operating between 4 March and 4 June 2019. Foreign caregivers with Canadian experience will be able to apply for permanent resident status. The program allows individuals with Canadian work experience as home child care providers or home support workers to apply for permanent resident status.
The Pilot Home Child Care Provider is intended for employees with expertise in the area of home care to be able to apply for permanent residency after having gained sufficient work experience in Canada on temporary work permits. This program began on 18 June 2019 with no more than 2,750 applicants accepted each year, including with their immediate family members.
The Home Support Worker Pilot is intended to provide employees with experience as home support workers (NOC 4412) in Canada with temporary permits to seek for permanent residency after having gained sufficient work experience. This program began on 18 June 2019 with no more than 2,750 applicants accepted each year, including with their immediate family members.
