Home Support Worker or Home Child Care Provider
These two caregiver programs opened in 2019, replacing the expired and past programs criticized for keeping some employees stuck in a non-healthy workplace with their families abroad. Another big improvement of the Home Support Worker and the Home Child Care Provider is that employees now receive an occupation-specific work permit instead of an employer-specific work permit. Therefore, you can change employers if necessary. Also, to guarantee caregivers will qualify to get permanent residence, IRCC will only give you a work permit if you hold a job offer in Canada and satisfy the criteria of any economic immigration programs. So, suppose you are a successful candidate under any caregiver program. In that case, you will be able to start earning the demanded two years of Canadian work experience to apply for permanent residence.The Home Child Care Provider and the Home Support Worker Caregiver Program Benefit.
