How do the new caregiver programs work? Use the two-step process to work in Canada and qualify for permanent residence.

Criteria:

  • job offer
  • CLB 5 language level
  • 1 year of Canadian post-secondary education or foreign equivalent
  • Admissibility

Outside of Canada?

Step 1. Submit applications for permanent residence and work or study permit(s) for yourself and your family.

Get an occupation-specific work permit to obtain the work experience you need for permanent residence.

Get work or study permits for your spouse or common-law partner and children to come with you.

Step 2. Permanent residence finalized

Tell us when you have completed 2 years of work experience and we will finalize your permanent residence application.

Already in Canada? You have choices!

If you already have some work experience as an in-home caregiver in Canada, you can:

  • Use the 2 step process above to get the rest of the work experience you need to get permanent status

    Or

  • Keep working in Canada with your current work permit and apply for permanent residence once you have 2 years of work experience and meet the criteria
