Caregiver Pilot Programs

Caregivers can come to Canada, provide essential services, and, if they meet the requirements, become permanent residents. There are two caregiver pilot programs:

Home Child Care Provider Pilot

The Home Child Care Provider Pilot is designed for caregivers who take care of children under 18, whether in their own homes or in the child’s home. This stream recognizes the unique skills required to ensure the safety and well-being of children, helping meet the high demand for qualified child care providers in Canada.

Home Support Worker Pilot

The Home Support Worker Pilot is aimed at caregivers who assist seniors, individuals with disabilities, or those with chronic illnesses. These caregivers provide essential support, including personal care and assistance with daily living activities, enabling clients to maintain a better quality of life.
