Permanent residence for caregivers

Home Child Care Provider Pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot


As of June 18, 2019, you may be able to apply for permanent residence through the Home Child Care Provider Pilot or Home Support Worker Pilot if you:


Caregiver

  • 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. This work permit:


  • is occupation-restricted (so you have to work in that specific occupation)

  • doesn’t need a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)

  • lets you get the work experience you need to be eligible for permanent residence


If you recently worked as a home child care provider or support worker, your experience may count towards your eligibility for permanent residence.
