Caregivers

🇫🇷 Français

In Canada’s economy and society, caregivers play an important role due to its low birth rate and aging population, thus Canada grants immigration applications and provides work permits to numerous caregivers.

Canada utilizes targeted pathways to provide caregivers with permanent residency. Additionally, it facilitates the applicants to gain temporary work permits or direct-to-PR entry, including parameters under the enhanced Caregiver Pathways that succeed the historical Home Child Care Provider and Home Support Worker pilots.

Criteria for Pathway Programs for Caregivers

• Language proficiency in English or French test with result showing a minimum of level 4 or 5 on the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) depending on the specific track.
• Candidate must have completed qualifying post-secondary education.
• A valid job offer for a full-time caregiving position in Canada that meets active structural oversight guidelines.

Qualifying Work Experience

Work experience criteria as cited by the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC):
• Work experience classified under the modern National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 codes, specifically targeting home child care providers (NOC 44100) or home support workers (NOC 44101).
• The work experience should be full-time, defined as at least 30 hours of paid work each week.
• Candidate must demonstrate their work experience matches the official NOC job description and lead statements.

Admissibility

IRCC takes care of the admissibility checks to ensure that immigrants are healthy and safe and are free of any risk to the health and safety of Canadians. Thus, as per their background, each immigrant has to submit a different document, it may be: Biometrics, Medical Exam, or a Police Clearance Certificate.
