Title: Canada Introduces Exciting PR-On-Arrival Pathway for Caregivers from Abroad
In a revolutionary move to continue supporting Canadian families in need of caregivers, the government of Canada has unveiled new, enhanced caregiver pilots aimed at streamlining the process for caregivers to obtain permanent residence upon arrival in the country.
As the Home Child Care Provider Pilot and the Home Support Worker Pilot draw to a close, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, has announced these groundbreaking initiatives that will pave the way for caregivers to not only find meaningful work but also secure their status as permanent residents from day one.
Under the new pilot programs, caregivers will have the opportunity to work for organizations providing temporary or part-time care, catering to individuals who are semi-independent or recovering from illness or injury. This strategic move not only benefits caregivers in finding stable employment with reputable employers but also provides them with a clear pathway to permanent resident status upon their arrival in Canada.
Candidates interested in working in the home care sector can apply for these pilot programs if they meet specific criteria, creating a more direct and efficient route for caregivers looking to contribute to the well-being of Canadian families.
Minister Miller emphasized the importance of acknowledging caregivers’ invaluable contributions to Canadian families and ensuring that caregiver programs are reflective of their dedication and hard work. The new pilot programs are a significant step towards establishing a permanent caregivers program that will provide both caregivers and families with the quality care and support they deserve.
Minister Rechie Valdez, Minister of Small Business, echoed the sentiments, emphasizing the need to support the caregiver community and recognize their tireless efforts in caring for generations of Canadian families. The time has come to reciprocate the care and appreciation they have shown over the years.
With the Live-in Caregiver Program inventory dwindling from over 60,000 in 2014 to less than 1% today, Canada is set to admit over 15,000 caregivers as permanent residents as part of the 2024–2026 Immigration Levels Plan. Notably, as of April 30, 2024, nearly 5,700 caregivers and their families have already secured permanent resident status through the existing pilot programs.
This monumental shift in caregiver policies marks a significant milestone in Canada’s commitment to meeting the diverse home care needs of its population. Stay tuned for more details on the eligibility criteria and application process for these innovative caregiver pilot programs.
