For years, caregivers from abroad have played an instrumental
role in supporting families in Canada. These hardworking
individuals have made sacrifices to provide care to those in need,
and Canada has recognized this by offering pathways to permanent
residency in return.
Green and Spiegel Immigration Law Firm is excited to announce
the latest update from the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, in conjunction with members
of Parliament Salma Zahid and Rechie Valdez. As of April 30, 2023,
the amount of work experience in Canada required for a caregiver to
qualify for permanent residency is being reduced from 24 months to
just 12 months. Additionally, some spaces under the existing
caregiver pathways have been reserved for those who already have
work experience in Canada from a previous work permit, so they can
apply for permanent residency right away.
