New Home Care Worker Immigration Pilots in Canada | Apply for PR

New Home Care Worker Immigration Pilots Launching on March 31, 2025

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has officially announced the launch date for its new Home Care Worker Immigration Pilots, set to open on March 31, 2025. These new programs will replace previous caregiver immigration pathways that have expired, offering eligible home care workers the opportunity to obtain permanent residence (PR) upon arrival in Canada.

Eligibility Requirements for the New Caregiver Immigration Pathways

To qualify for the new caregiver immigration programs, applicants must meet the following criteria:

  • Language Proficiency: Must have a Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level 4 in English or French.
  • Education: Must hold the equivalent of a Canadian high school diploma.
  • Work Experience: Must have recent and relevant experience in home care work.
  • Job Offer: Must receive a full-time employment offer for a home care job in Canada.

These streamlined requirements make it easier for qualified caregivers to transition into permanent resident status immediately upon arrival in Canada.

Background: Why These New Pilots Were Introduced

The introduction of the Home Care Worker Immigration Pilots comes after the closure of previous caregiver programs, including:

  • Home Child Care Provider Pilot (closed June 17, 2024)
  • Home Support Worker Pilot (closed June 17, 2024)
  • Live-in Caregiver Program (closed in 2014)
  • Caring for Children Pilot (closed in 2019)
  • Caring for People with High Medical Needs Pilot (closed in 2019)
  • Interim Pathway for Caregivers (closed in 2019)

These closures led to a temporary pause in caregiver immigration pathways. The new pilots ensure that Canada continues to welcome skilled caregivers to support families and individuals in need of home care services.

Canada’s Immigration Plan and Caregiver Admissions

Under Canada’s 2025-2027 Immigration Levels Plan, IRCC has allocated 10,920 spots for Federal Economic Pilots, which include:

  • New Caregiver Immigration Pilots
  • Agri-Food Pilot
  • Community Immigration Pilots
  • Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot

Although the exact allocation for caregivers has yet to be announced, this initiative underscores Canada’s commitment to welcoming essential home care workers into the country.
