Home Care Worker Immigration Pilots start March 31
ome-care workers arriving in Canada under a new initiative “Home Care Worker Immigration Pilots” will be granted permanent residence upon arrival in Canada. The new pilot programs were announced in June of 2024 by Canadian Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Marc Miller. These pathways to permanent residence programs will begin on March 31, 2025, replacing the five-year pilot programs that ran from June 2019 to June 2024. In making the announcement last year, Minister Miller described the new pilots as “enhanced”, with essentially a one-step to permanent residence for caregivers. Although the full details of the enhanced program have not yet been released, it is widely anticipated that these initiatives will be less cumbersome and onerous for candidates to come to Canada and achieve permanent residence.
“Caregivers play a critical role in supporting Canadian families, and our programs need to reflect their invaluable contributions. As we work to implement a permanent caregivers program, these two new pilots will not only improve support for caregivers, but also provide families with the quality care they deserve.”
