Caregivers are Temporary Foreign Workers in Canada. However, unlike most other foreign nationals in Canada under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, there are federal immigration caregiver programs available, that provides a direct pathway to permanent residence.
REQUIREMENTS TO BECOME A CAREGIVER
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has a program that started on June 18, 2019 that will allow Canadians to hire a foreign in-home caregiver.
- National Child Care Provider Pilot
- Home Support Worker Pilot
The Home Child Care Provider and Home Support Worker pilots provide in-home caregivers with the opportunity to become a permanent residence once they have 2 years of eligible work experience in Canada. It also lets their family members come to Canada to work or study while they get work experience.
As a Canadian employer, you can hire an in-home caregiver by finding an eligible candidate, either overseas or in Canada, and providing them with an offer of employment. The in-home caregiver will then submit their application to one of the pilots.
