The Canada Caregiver Program allows foreign workers to come to Canada to provide care for children, seniors, or people with medical needs. Depending on the program stream, caregivers may be able to work in Canada temporarily and later apply for permanent residence.
Canada has introduced different caregiver pathways over the years, including programs for home child care providers and home support workers. These programs are designed to address the demand for caregivers who assist children, elderly individuals, or people with disabilities.
Eligibility requirements may vary by program, but applicants generally need:
Yes. Most caregiver programs require at least 12 months of full-time work experience in caregiving or a related field within a certain period before applying. This experience must involve duties such as caring for children, elderly persons, or individuals with medical needs.
Yes. Some caregiver pathways allow workers to apply for permanent residence after gaining required work experience in Canada. For example, previous caregiver programs allowed applicants to qualify for permanent residence after completing a specific amount of full-time caregiving work.
