Canada Welcomes Caregivers: PR Programs Relaunch Jan 2024

Canada's doors turn open for two important programs come January 1, 2024. At 9 AM EST sharp, both the Home Child Care Provider Pilot and the Home Support Worker Pilot will start accepting applications, paving the way for eligible caregivers and their families to immigrate and become permanent Canadian residents.

Two key immigration pathways to Canada reopen on January 1, 2024 - the Home Child Care Provider Pilot and the Home Support Worker Pilot. These five-year initiatives offer eligible caregivers and their families the chance to immigrate and build permanent lives in Canada, contributing their vital skills and promoting care. 

Direct Entry for established professionals and Gaining Experience for those aspiring to join the field. Fees start at $CAN 1,085, and applications open January 1st, 9 AM EST sharp. The Home Support Worker Pilot and Home Child Care Provider Pilot offer a "Direct to Permanent Residence" path for you and your family, opening doors to a fulfilling career and a permanent life in this supportive nation.

Start your journey on January 1st, 9 AM EST, and build your skills while paving the path to permanent residency. But if you've already logged 12 months of full-time Canadian caregiving within the past 3 years, take the "Direct to Permanent Residence" route and assume a fulfilling career and life in Canada! 

You now only need 12 months of experience, down from the previous 24, to unlock Canadian citizenship through the Home Support Worker and Home Child Care Provider Pilot programs.
