Canada has a long history of welcoming caregivers to support its economy and society considering the aging population and lack of national childcare.
If you have experience as a caregiver, you may qualify for one of the streams under Canada Caregiver Program. As a caregiver, you have multiple options to come to Canada to work temporarily or become a permanent resident.
Canadian Caregivers Program has a very dynamic structure. Available streams under this program may be closed, or new types of streams may open according to the changing needs of Canada.
You may apply for temporary work permit or permanent residence through the available programs if you meet the eligibility requirements.
Please note that each program under the Caregivers Program has its own eligibility criteria to be carefully assessed before the application.
If you’re already in Canada working as a caregiver for a certain amount of time, you may be eligible to apply for permanent residence through Canada Caregivers Program. Please note that you must always have valid temporary resident status while working in Canada to apply for permanent residence through this program.
