Home Child Care Provider Pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot

The Home Child Care Provider Pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot are two economic pilot programs for foreign national caregivers who

• have a qualifying job offer or Canadian work experience for work in an eligible caregiver occupation
• meet minimum education and language proficiency requirements

Initial applications to the new pilots have a 12-month target processing time. A 6-month target processing time applies for finalizing an application after the caregiver submits proof that they have met the work experience requirement. To note, a target processing time is what the Department aims to achieve. It is not a service standard (service standards are official commitments).
