On June 16, 2023, the Government of Canada announced new instructions for assessing new and pending applications under the Home Child Care Provider and Home Support Worker pilots. On April 30, 2023, the Government amended the Ministerial Instructions, reducing the work experience requirement from 24 to 12 months, clarifying that employers on the job offer must not be businesses, and streamlining the application process for gaining experience category (Category A). Currently, work authorized under the Immigration and Refugees Protection Regulations will be counted as work experience.
