HCCP Caregivers

Home Child Care Provider

The Home Child Care Provider Pilot and the Home Support Worker Pilot are specialized five-year pilot programs designed to allow qualified caregivers and their family members the opportunity to immigrate to Canada with the objective of obtaining permanent residency.

These initiatives are specifically aimed at individuals who have either received a job offer in Canada as a caregiver or have previous experience working in Canada in a caregiving capacity. Eligible candidates through these pilot programs can apply for permanent residency, with the application process being tailored to the applicant’s particular circumstances, including the amount of relevant work experience they possess.


It’s important to note that the pathway to permanent residency through these pilots varies depending on the individual’s situation and their qualifying caregiving experience in Canada.

Requirements

If you’re interested in working in Canada as a caregiver, there are two main programs you can apply for: the Home Child Care Provider Pilot and the Home Support Worker Pilot. Here’s what you need to know to get started for the Home Child Care Provider Pilot:

What You Need to Apply

  • Education: You should have finished at least one year of college or university.
  • Language Skills: You need to speak English or French well enough to do your job. This means scoring at least a 5 on the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) test.

Work Experience

  • For Home Child Care Providers (job code NOC 4411), you'll be taking care of children, making sure they're safe, healthy, and developing well, and helping parents with child care tasks.

How To Apply

If you’re looking to make a difference in the lives of others while also paving your way towards permanent residency, here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you apply for the Home Child Care Provider.


Choose Your Path
First, decide whether you want to work as a Home Child Care Provider or a Home Support Worker. Each role has its unique responsibilities and rewards.


Apply for Work and Residence
Next, fill out the necessary forms to apply for both a work permit and permanent residency. This dual application process streamlines your journey towards working and living in Canada.


Get a Work Permit
If you meet the program requirements, you will be issued a work permit. This special permit is quite flexible, allowing you to work for any employer in the caregiving sector, though there are certain conditions to keep in mind.


Gain Experience
To qualify for permanent residency, you’ll need to accumulate at least 24 months of work experience in your caregiving role. This experience is crucial in demonstrating your capability and commitment to the profession.


Live Independently
It’s important to note that you are not required to live with your employer to be eligible for these programs. This allows you the freedom to choose your living arrangements while working in Canada.

Bringing Your Family Along

Your family members can come with you to Canada. If they want to work or study while they’re there, you can include their applications for work or study permits with yours.
This process is designed to make it easier for caregivers to come to Canada and work towards becoming permanent residents. Remember, each step is important for making your dream of working in Canada a reality.
