Canada Announces New Caregiver Pilots With Direct PR On-Arrival

​Today, Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced new, upgraded caregiver pilots that will allow caregivers to continue coming to Canada while they work to make the caregiver pilot programs permanent.
The new pilot programs will grant home care professionals permanent residency (PR) as soon as they arrive in Canada.
They will also be able to work with organizations that provide temporary or part-time care to those who are semi-independent or recovering from an injury or illness.
This new method enables caregivers to more easily find suitable work with reputable companies and gain clear, uncomplicated access to permanent resident status on-arrival in Canada.

Candidates interested in working in Canada’s home care sector will be able to apply under these new pilot programs if they match the following criteria:

• a minimum of level 4 in English or French proficiency based on the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB)
• Education level equivalent to Canadian high school diploma
• have latest relevant work experience
• have a full-time job offer in home care

Miller confirmed that the pilot is expected to be launched by the end of fall 2024 or, at the latest, in early 2025.
These new PR on arrival pilot initiatives represent a significant step forward in Canada’s attempts to fulfill the changing home care demands of its varied population.
More information will be available prior to the pilots’ official launch, including full eligibility requirements and application instructions.
