Title: Canada Welcomes Caregivers with New Pilots for Permanent Residence Upon Arrival
In a heartwarming development, the invaluable contribution of caregivers from abroad to Canadian families has been officially recognized and enhanced. The Home Child Care Provider Pilot and the Home Support Worker Pilot are drawing to a close, heralding the introduction of new, improved caregiver pilot programs that champion and support the crucial work of caregivers in Canada.
The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, unveiled the new caregiver pilot programs that will allow caregivers to seamlessly transition to permanent residents upon arrival in Canada. This initiative aims to provide caregivers with greater opportunities to find secure employment with trusted employers and expedited pathways to permanent resident status upon entry into the country.
Under these new pilot programs, home care workers will have the chance to work for organizations offering temporary or part-time care for individuals who are semi-independent or undergoing rehabilitation. This groundbreaking approach is set to revolutionize Canada’s home care sector, meeting the diverse needs of its population and ensuring that caregivers receive the support and recognition they rightfully deserve.
Individuals interested in working as caregivers in Canada can apply for these programs by meeting specific eligibility criteria that will be outlined in advance of the pilots’ full launch. The introduction of these new permanent residence on arrival pilot programs represents a significant stride towards establishing a permanent caregivers program that is inclusive, supportive, and responsive to the needs of both caregivers and Canadian families.
Minister Marc Miller emphasized, “Caregivers play a critical role in supporting Canadian families, and our programs need to reflect their invaluable contributions. These two new pilots will not only enhance support for caregivers but also ensure that families receive the quality care they deserve.”
Additionally, Minister Rechie Valdez highlighted the importance of creating policies to support the caregiver community, acknowledging the generations of caregivers who have dedicated themselves to caring for families and loved ones in Canada.
As part of the 2024–2026 Immigration Levels Plan, Canada is set to welcome over 15,000 caregivers as permanent residents, demonstrating the country’s commitment to valuing and embracing the vital role of caregivers within its communities. Since the inception of the Home Child Care Provider Pilot and the Home Support Worker Pilot in 2019, nearly 5,700 caregivers and their families have already obtained permanent resident status, signifying the positive impact of these initiatives.
The new caregiver pilot programs signify a progressive step towards recognizing and supporting caregivers in Canada, ensuring that they are revered, valued, and equipped with the
