Caregivers

There are currently two pilots which allow you to gain permanent residence as a caregiver:

  • Home Child Care Provider Pilot
  • Home Support Worker Pilot

In order to be eligible for permanent residence, you must first obtain a job offer, come to Canada on a work permit and gain at least 2 years of work experience as a Home Child Care Provider or Home Support Worker.

  • Post-secondary credential (at least 1 year)
