Where to get more information.

Biometric (fingerprints and photo) requirements

You and your family members may need to appear in person to have fingerprints and a photograph (biometric information) taken at a biometric collection service point.

Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada are exempt from giving biometrics.

As of December 3, 2019, you need to give biometrics when you apply from within Canada. You can go to a designated Service Canada location.

Find out if you need to give biometrics.

If you have to give biometrics, you can give them after you:

  • pay for and submit your application and biometric fees; and
  • get a Biometric Instruction Letter (BIL) which will direct you to a list of biometric collection service points you may choose from.

You must bring the BIL with you to the biometric collection service point to give your biometrics.

We encourage you to give your biometrics as soon as possible after getting the BIL. We’ll start processing your application after we get your biometrics.

Where to give your biometrics

You need to book an appointment to give your biometrics at one of these official biometric collection service points.

Family member definitions

Your family members include your spouse or common-law partner, your dependent children and any children that are their dependent children.

Spouse

Refers to either of the two persons (any gender) in a marriage legally recognized in the country in which it took place, as well as in Canada.

Important information

Proxy, telephone, fax, internet and similar forms of marriage where one or both parties were not physically present are not considered as valid spousal relationships under the Regulations nor are polygamous marriages. For more information, consult our policy on the legality of a marriage.

Common-law partner

Refers to a person who is living in a conjugal relationship with another person (any gender), and has done so continuously for a period of at least one year. A conjugal relationship exists when there is a significant degree of commitment between two people.

This can be shown with evidence that the couple share the same home, support each other financially and emotionally, have children together, or present themselves in public as a couple.

Common-law partners who have been in a conjugal relationship for at least one year, but are unable to live together or appear in public together because of legal restrictions in their home country or who have been separated for reasons beyond their control (for example, civil war or armed conflict) may still qualify and should be included on the application.

Dependent children

The age of your children is ‘locked in’ when you make your refugee claim. This means that if you are later able to apply for permanent residence in Canada as a protected person, you may be able to include them in your application if they meet the dependent children requirements below on the lock-in date:

  • They’re under 22 years old, and
  • They don’t have a spouse or common-law partner

Children 22 years old or older qualify as dependents if they meet both of these requirements:

  • They have depended on their parents for financial support since before the age of 22, and
  • They are unable to financially support themselves because of a mental or physical condition

With the exception of age, dependents will have to continue to meet these requirements until processing of the application for permanent residence is complete.

Dependent child of a dependent child

Refers to children of dependents children of the applicant and those of the spouse or common-law partner, if applicable.

Do you intend to reside in Quebec?

Under the Canada-Quebec Accord on Immigration, Quebec establishes its own immigration requirements and selects foreign nationals who will adapt well to living in Quebec. If you intend to come to Canada as a Quebec-selected skilled worker, you must first contact the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI).

For more information, consult Quebec-selected skilled workers.

If you intend to reside in the province of Quebec, you do not qualify to apply under the Interim Pathway for Caregivers.

Step 1: Make sure you are eligible

At the time of your application, you must be authorized to work in Canada on a work permit other than a Live-in Caregiver Program work permit. You must also make sure you meet the work, education and language requirements.

What are the requirements?

Your application to immigrate to Canada under the Interim Pathway for Caregivers will be assessed against the following three requirements:

1. Qualifying work experience

At the time we receive your complete application, you must have obtained a total of at least 12 months of authorized full-time work experience in Canada since November 30 2014. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week. You must have had temporary resident status on a valid Temporary Foreign Worker Program work permit during the time you obtained your work experience.

Any periods of self-employment or periods of employment during which you were engaged in full-time study (e.g. work experience gained on a co-op, off-campus or on-campus work permit) will not be included when calculating your work experience.

To qualify, your work experience must have been obtained in one of the following occupations listed in the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC) system:

Note: You must have provided in-home care to children under the age of 18. Foster parents are not eligible.

Note: Only Home support workers and workers in related occupations are eligible under NOC 4412. Housekeepers and workers in related occupations are not eligible to apply under the Temporary Public Policy for in-Canada Caregivers.

Your 12 months of authorized full-time work experience in Canada can be completed in any combination of NOC 4411 and/or NOC 4412.

Determining whether you have qualifying work experience

The NOC is a system used by the Government of Canada to classify occupations and group them based on the types of job duties and the types of work a person does.

Follow these steps to determine if you have qualifying work experience under this Class:

  1. Go to the NOC website.
  2. Go to the “Quick Search” located in the bottom, left-hand side of the website.
  3. Enter the following four-digit NOC code: 4411 or 4412.
  4. Make sure the initial description and list of main duties match what you did in your job.
Proof of qualifying work experience

You must provide proof of your qualifying work experience with your application. Refer to the Document Checklist – Interim Pathway for Caregivers [IMM 0105] (PDF, 3.39 MB) for more information.

For the work experience you claim in your application, you must demonstrate you performed:

This means that you performed some or all of the main duties, including all the duties that separate your actual job from any other. For example, duties that begin with “may” in the NOC description are not usually considered to be essential duties.

Note: Your work experience does not need to be continuous to qualify, but your 12 months of authorized full-time work experience must not include:

  • any extended absence from Canada (including any time worked for an employer outside Canada),
  • periods of unemployment,
  • long-term sickness or parental leave.

A reasonable period of vacation time will be counted towards meeting the work experience requirement (e.g. a two-week period of paid vacation in or outside of Canada within a given 52-week period).

2. Ability in English or French

You must have a level of proficiency of at least benchmark level 5 in either official language for all four language skill areas, as set out in the Canadian Language Benchmarks and the Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens.

You must prove your ability in English or French in these four areas:

Proof of language proficiency

To prove that you meet the required level of language proficiency in all four language skill areas, you must include original results of one of the following language tests designated by IRCC with your application:

English
French

small exclamation warning signIf you do not submit original results of your official language proficiency test with your application, it will not be processed and will be returned to you as incomplete.

Language proficiency test

You must take a language proficiency test designated by IRCC before submitting your application.

Your test results must be less than two years old at the time that we receive your application.

Note: Designated language test results will be used as proof of whether you meet the language proficiency requirement.

If you can’t get your test results in time to include them in your application before the Interim Pathway for Caregivers closes, you must provide proof that you have made an appointment to take a language test and provide the date of the test in your application when you apply.

Proof of scheduling a language test includes written confirmation from the testing agency that you have scheduled the test. It must include the date of the test and if available, a receipt of payment.

You must take the first available test date offered to you by the test agency. Depending on volumes at the test agency, we understand that the test date may be after the Interim Pathway for Caregivers has closed. This is allowed as long as you submit proof that you made an appointment to take the language test before the Interim Pathway for Caregivers closed.

Once you have completed the test, send us the original test results using our Web form. For the type of application/enquiry select “In-Canada Permanent Residence – Caregiver: Caring for Children class”. If you are unable to access the Web form, original test results can be submitted by mail to the Case Processing Centre in Edmonton, Alberta (CPC-E).

Note: The date on your test results must match the testing date you gave us when you applied.

3. Secondary education

You must have at least a completed Canadian high school diploma (or an equivalent foreign credential).

To prove that you meet the required level of education, you must submit evidence of:

Note: The ECA report must indicate that your completed foreign educational credential is equivalent to at least a completed Canadian high school diploma.

Proof of foreign educational credential equivalency

You must have your foreign educational credentials assessed by an organization designated by IRCC and obtain an ECA report before submitting your application.

Your ECA report must have been issued on or after the date the organization was designated by IRCC. Your ECA report must be less than five years old on the date that we receive your application.

You need to:

  1. make arrangements to obtain an ECA report for your completed foreign educational credential(s) from an organization designated by IRCC and pay the assessment costs.
  2. refer to Appendix B to confirm that the outcome stated on your ECA report matches at least one of the assessment outcomes identified in the list.
  3. submit the original ECA report with your application along with proof of your completed foreign educational credential(s) (examples of proof of your completed foreign educational credential(s) can include copies of your diplomas/degrees, transcripts, etc).
  4. keep a copy of your ECA report for your records and future use.

Note: The ECA report and proof of your completed foreign educational credential(s) will be used as proof of whether you meet the secondary education requirement.

If you can’t get an ECA before the Interim Pathway for Caregivers closes, you must provide proof that you have applied to get one. Proof that you have applied for an ECA includes written confirmation from the agency that you have submitted a request for an ECA and/or receipt of payment.

Send us the original ECA as soon as you receive it using our Web form. For the type of application/enquiry select “In-Canada Permanent Residence – Caregiver: Caring for Children class”. If you are unable to access the Web form, the ECA can be submitted by mail to the Case Processing Centre in Edmonton (CPC-E). If you don’t submit an ECA or proof that you have requested one, your application will not be processed and will be returned to you as incomplete.

Step 2. Gather your documents

What documents are required?

Use the Document Checklist – Interim Pathway for Caregivers [IMM 0105] (PDF, 3.39 MB) to make sure you have included all of the required documents and forms Your application will be returned if anything documents are missing or if photocopies are not clear or legible. We may ask for more information at any time during the application process.

Translation of documents

You must include the following along with any document that is not in English or French:

Translations may be done by:

  • a person who is fluent in both languages (English or French, and the unofficial language); or
  • a Canadian certified translator (a member in good standing of a provincial or territorial organization of translators and interpreters in Canada).

If the translation isn’t done by a Canadian certified translator, the person who completed the translation must provide an affidavit swearing to their language proficiency and the accuracy of the translation.

Note: An affidavit is a document on which the translator has sworn, in the presence of a person authorized to administer oaths in the country where the translator is living, that the contents of their translation are a true translation and representation of the contents of the original document. Translators who are certified in Canada don’t need to supply an affidavit.

Family members who do not undergo and pass a medical exam will not be eligible to be sponsored at a later date. Your family members will be contacted by the visa office in their area with instructions on their medical exams.

Police certificates

If you and your family members are 18 years of age and older and aren’t permanent residents or Canadian citizens, you must provide a valid police certificate for any country other than Canada in which you spent 6 or more months in a row since the age of 18.

Note: You do not need to provide a police certificate from a country if you or your family members were under 18 years of age the entire time you lived in that country.

If the original certificate isn’t in English or French, you must get an accredited translator to translate it. You must include both the police certificate and the translation.

How long can I stay in Canada while waiting for permanent residence?

You can stay in Canada while waiting for your permanent residence as long as you maintain legal status. Temporary resident status is valid for a specific period of time and you must ensure that your status as a temporary resident remains valid while you are in Canada.

If you’re currently working in Canada

If your existing work permit is about to expire, you may be eligible for an open work permit as an in Canada applicant for permanent residence. If you’re eligible, this permit can let you keep working while you wait for a final decision on your permanent residence application.

Leaving Canada

If you go on a vacation outside of Canada, you are not automatically deemed ineligible for permanent residence under the Interim Pathway for Caregivers. However, it is important to note that if you leave Canada while your application is being processed, we cannot guarantee that you will be allowed to re-enter. Each time you re-enter Canada you will need to be re-assessed and meet all eligibility criteria for entering the country.

Appendix C - Maintaining your status and eligibility for an open work permit in Canada

Status while in Canada

Completing an application for permanent residence as a caregiver under the Interim Pathway for Caregivers does not mean that your work permit or temporary status will be automatically extended. You must maintain your legal status in Canada while your application for permanent residence is in process. Therefore, you must apply for a renewal of your work permit before it expires. It is illegal to work in Canada without a valid work permit.

If your work permit expires before you submit an application to extend it, you have 90 days from the expiration date to apply to restore your status. If you do not apply to restore your status within 90 days of the expiry of your work permit, you will be without status and have to leave Canada.

Use the guide Applying to change conditions or extend your stay in Canada as a Worker to apply for any type of work permit or to restore your status.

What is an open work permit and am I eligible to apply for one?

An open work permit allows you to work for any employer for the length of time specified on the work permit.

You can apply for an open work permit

As a caregiver under the Interim Pathway for Caregivers, you can apply for an open work permit by completing the paper Application to Change Conditions, Extend my Stay or Remain in Canada as a Worker. You may submit it together with your application for permanent residence, including the fees. Submitting your work permit application simultaneously allows you to continue working for your current employer under the same conditions until you receive the open work permit. Please note that the work permit will not be processed until an eligibility decision has been made on your application for permanent residence.

You may apply for your open work permit after you submitted your application for permanent residence, however it will not be processed until an eligibility decision has been made. Please note that processing times may take longer, it is therefore recommended that you submit both applications at the same time.

Note: “You must pay the work permit fee of $155. You are exempt from paying the open work permit holder fee of $100.”

To be eligible for an open work permit, you should:

Your spouse and/or dependents who are already in Canada who either have status, have maintained their status or are eligible for restoration are also eligible to apply for an open work permit once you have received the positive eligibility assessment of your APR.
