Overview

Pathways for home child care providers and home support workers.

The Caregiver Immigration Pilots provide a direct pathway to Canadian permanent residence for qualified home child care providers and home support workers. Applicants need a full-time job offer (30+ hrs/week) outside Quebec, CLB 4 language proficiency, and a Canadian-equivalent high school diploma.

PR is granted directly — there is no temporary status step. Fees total CAD 1,675 (CAD 990 processing + CAD 600 RPRF + CAD 85 biometrics). Dependents may accompany and spouses receive unrestricted work authorization. Processing typically takes 12–24 months.

This visa is ideal for experienced home care workers outside Quebec who want a straightforward employer-sponsored path to Canadian permanent residence.
