Home Child Care Provider Pilot

Home Child Care providers are those individuals who are qualified (who have either got a college certificate or work experience) to provide care for children, elderly persons or persons with disabilities in private homes without supervision.

As per the earlier law, once a caregiver comes to Canada to work for an employer they were required to live in the private home where they worked, but with the new regulations in place, there have been substantial changes to the requirements.

Hiring a Caregiver is somewhat similar to hiring any other foreign worker but with certain specific criteria that only applies to this category of workers.

(Please discuss in details with our experts)

The employer who intends to hire a caregiver must make sure they qualify before filing an application for a work permit

The application process for care givers or as they are called now “Home Child Care Provider” has seen a lot of changes in the past couple of years. The care giver can apply for permanent residence once they have completed working the designated number of hours as per law. The application for permanent residence will include the whole family of the care giver.
