As of June 18, 2019, a new caregiver program was launched with the following key points:

• Allows to apply for Work Permit along with Permanent Residency
• Family of Caregiver can also come to Canada now!
• NO LMIA Required
• Low IELTS Score!

The Home Child Care Provider Pilot and the Home Support Worker Pilot are 5-year pilot programs that let qualified caregivers and their family members come to Canada to become permanent residents. Requirements:

1. Minimum of 1-year Post-Secondary Diploma
2. 1-year of relevant experience
3. Minimum CLB 5 in English Proficiency test

Once the caregiver comes to Canada on a work permit, they work for 2 years and submit their proof of experience to process their PR for final submission.
