pathway to permanent residence for eligible caregivers will stay open for a period of three months
Canada’s Interim Pathway for Caregivers is once again open to new applications.
The short-term program provides a pathway to permanent residence for individuals who have acquired work experience in Canada since November 30, 2014, as a home childcare provider, home support worker or a combination of both.
Work experience must match the initial description and list of main duties for Canada’s National Occupational Classification (NOC) Group 4411 or 4412.
The pathway’s July 8 opening is its second since it was first unveiled by the Government of Canada earlier this year and it will accept applications for the next three months.
The Interim Pathway for Caregivers is open to those who intend to reside outside of Quebec and who have:
• authorization to work in Canada on a work permit other than a Live-in Caregiver Program (LCP) work permit (at the time of applying); or
• applied for a renewal of a work permit other than a Live-in Caregiver Program work permit; or
• language skills of at least a CLB/NCLC 5 in English or French; and
• 12 months of full-time work experience in Canada since November 30, 2014, in a relevant occupation; and
• a minimum of a Canadian high school diploma or non-Canadian educational diploma, certificate or credential that’s equal to a Canadian high school diploma.
