The Government of Canada is re-launching the Home Child Care Provider Pilot and the Home Support Worker Pilot programs, inviting fresh applications from January 1, 2024.
These two pivotal pilot programs are in a bid to assist caregivers aspiring for permanent residency in Canada.
Nairametrics learns that the two programs the: Home Child Care Provider Pilot and the Home Support Worker Pilot offer an avenue for eligible caregivers and their families to immigrate to Canada.
-
Dual routes to permanent residency
These five-year pilot programs extend invitations to eligible caregivers and their families to migrate to Canada with the potential of becoming permanent citizens.

The application process is captured into two primary pathways: Direct Entry into Permanent Residence and Gaining Experience. It’s important to note that program fees for both routes start at $CAN 1,085.
-
Direct entry into permanent residence
If you already possess 12 months of relevant work experience, you and your family can apply for the Direct to Permanent Residence category through either the Home Support Worker Pilot or the Home Child Care Provider Pilot.
-
Gaining Experience
For those with less than 12 months of work experience or no prior full-time caregiver work experience in Canada, the Gaining Experience category is an option. If you have worked as a caregiver full-time in Canada for a cumulative total of 12 months or more within the previous 36 months, you qualify to apply under the Direct to Permanence category.
-
Changes in work experience requirements
In a notable shift, Canada has reduced the minimum work experience requirement for domestic caregivers applying for permanent residence. While caregivers previously needed 24 months of experience, now only 12 months are required.
Applicants must therefore furnish the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) with evidence of sufficient experience, particularly if they have previously applied under the “Gaining Experience” category.
