Launching 2 new pilots: Home Child Care Provider and Home Support Worker

June 15, 2019 – Toronto – Canada is caring for its caregivers by launching 2 new pilots that will help caregivers who come to this country make it their permanent home.

The Home Child Care Provider and Home Support Worker pilots will open for applications on June 18, 2019, replacing the expiring Caring for Children and Caring for People with High Medical Needs pilots.

Caregivers will now only receive a work permit if they have a job offer in Canada and meet standard criteria for economic immigration programs. Once working in Canada, caregivers will be able to begin gaining the required 2 years of Canadian work experience to apply for permanent residence.

Through these new pilots, caregivers will also benefit from:

occupation-specific work permits, rather than employer-specific, to allow for a fast change of employers when necessary;

open work permits and/or study permits for the caregivers’ immediate family, to help families come to Canada together;

and a clear transition from temporary to permanent status, to ensure that once caregivers have met the work experience requirement, they will be able to become permanent residents quickly.

These new pilots provide caregivers from abroad and their families with a clear, direct pathway to permanent residence.

Canada is committed to improving life for immigrants and supporting jobs for the middle class.

Quick facts

The expiring pilots will close to new applications on June 18, 2019. Caregivers who have applied before this date will continue to have their applications processed through to a final decision.

Caregivers who have been working toward applying to the soon-to-be-expired pilots can now apply through either the Home Child Care Provider Pilot or the Home Support Worker Pilot.

The Interim Pathway for Caregivers, the short-term pathway for caregivers who came to Canada as temporary foreign workers since 2014 but were unable to qualify for permanent residence through an existing program, will be extended. It will re-open on July 8, 2019 and accept applications for 3 months.

The new pilots, Home Child Care Provider and Home Support Worker, will each have a maximum of 2,750 principal applicants, for a total of 5,500 principal applicants per year, plus their immediate family.

Initial applications to the new pilots will have a 12-month processing service standard. A 6-month processing standard will apply for finalizing an application after the caregiver submits proof that they have met the work experience requirement.

With the move to occupation-specific work permits under the Home Child Care and Home Support Worker pilots, employers will no longer need a Labour Market Impact Assessment before hiring a caregiver from overseas.

Immigrate through AIPP - Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program

What is AIPP

The Atlantic Immigration Pilot is a fast-track immigration program that allows employers in Canada's four Atlantic provinces — Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador and Prince Edward Island — to hire foreign nationals for jobs they haven’t been able to fill locally.

The AIPP has been designed to invite immigrants in the key Atlantic Provinces so that the provinces in the region can combat the rising demographic challenges and labour market needs as well. The AIPP primarily aims at filling the skill gaps in the Atlantic region and supporting the businesses in luring the global talent.

How it works

The Atlantic Immigration Pilot is an employer-driven program that facilitates the hiring of foreign workers. All principal applicants arriving in Canada under the pilot program must have a job offer from a designated employer and an individualized settlement plan for themselves and their family.

To immigrate to Atlantic Canada through the pilot, you must be a skilled worker who meets the program requirements, or you must be a recent graduate of a publicly funded institution in Atlantic Canada.

You can be living abroad or already be in Canada temporarily to apply to this program. You must receive a job offer from a designated employer in Atlantic Canada to participate in the pilot.

The three programs for AIP:

1. Atlantic High-skilled Program
Requirements:

• Job offer from Atlantic Region, full-time one-year employment contract in
NOC 0, A or B skills
• 1-year work experience relevant to the job offer
• Have at least a Canadian high school diploma or equivalent education
• Have taken a language test
• Proof of funds

2. Atlantic Intermediate-skilled Program
Requirements:

• Job offer from Atlantic Region, full-time one-year employment contract in
NOC 0, A, B, or C level
• have worked in a job that requires a high school education and/or job-
specific training for at least a year

• Have taken a language test

3. Atlantic International Graduate Program

in an Atlantic province.

getting your degree, diploma or credential
