The caregiver class is divided into two main pilot programs which are the Home Child Care Provider Pilot and the Home Support Worker Pilot. They are 5-year pilot programs that let qualified caregivers and their family members come to Canada with the goal of becoming permanent residents. If you’ve been offered a job in Canada as a caregiver or have experience working in Canada as a caregiver, you may be able to apply for permanent residence through one of these pilots. The application process will be different depending on your situation.

If you have less than 24 months of qualifying work experience, you can apply for the Home Child Care Provider Pilot or the Home Support Worker Pilot, as long as you meet the other eligibility requirements.

You may be eligible to apply for the Home Child Care Provider Pilot or Home Support Worker Pilot, if you:

• have a genuine and valid job offer

• are able to do the job

• meet the language level

• meet the education requirement which is 1 year of completed post-secondary education or get your foreign education credential assessed to show that it’s equal to a completed Canadian post-secondary education credential of at least 1 year.

• plan to live outside the province of Quebec as a permanent resident

To get or finish getting the work experience you need for permanent residence through the Home Child Care Provider or Home Support Worker Pilot, you need a genuine and valid job offer. The job you’re offered must be:

• made using Offer of Employment form

• full-time, which means at least 30 hours of paid work each week

• from a Canadian employer

• outside the province of Quebec

• from an employer who’s not an embassy, high commission or consulate

• genuine, meaning there’s a real need to hire you
