Jun 18, 2019 – Canada's two new pilots for
caregiver immigration will open for applications on Tuesday
June 18, 2019, the federal government has announced.
The Home Child Care Provider and Home Support Worker pilots both
offer a direct pathway to permanent residence, and allow applicants
to bring family members with them to Canada.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) says each
new pilot will have a maximum of 2,750 principal applicants, for a
total of 5,500 principal applicants per year, plus their immediate
family.
Candidates will only be eligible for an initial
occupation-specific work permit with a Canada job offer in hand and
provided they meet standard criteria for economic immigration
programs.
