  • As a caregiver, you have options to come to Canada to become a permanent resident or work temporarily. You may be able to apply for permanent residence through these pilots if you:
  • meet the eligibility requirements, and
  • have a job offer to work in one of these occupations

Through these pilots, you’ll get an open work permit to come to Canada and work temporarily. There are two categories:

  • Home Child Care Provider Pilot
  • Home Support Worker Pilot

The Home Child Care Provider Pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot provide eligible caregivers with a pathway to permanent residence once they’ve acquired two years of Canadian work experience.

The new pilots only provide work permits to caregivers who have a job offer in Canada and who meet the following criteria:

  • Language tests results showing a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) of 5 in English or French; and
  • One year of Canadian post-secondary education or the foreign equivalent; and Admissible to Canada.

Caregivers already working in Canada on a work permit who meet these criteria can also apply for permanent residence through the new pilots.

  • Caregivers with work experience in NOC 4411 (excluding foster parents) are eligible for permanent residence through the Home Child Care Provider Pilot.
  • Caregivers with work experience in NOC 4412 (excluding housekeepers) are eligible for permanent residence through the Home Support Worker Pilot.
