Canada’s Immigration Minister Marc Miller introduced new pilot programs for foreign caregivers, replacing soon-to-expire programs. The initiatives acknowledge caregivers’ vital roles and grant them permanent residence upon arrival. They can work for organizations providing temporary or part-time care for semi-independent individuals or those recovering from illnesses. This approach ensures suitable employment and clear access to permanent residency. Applicants must meet criteria including language proficiency, equivalent Canadian high school education, relevant work experience, and a full-time home care job offer. This move shows Canada’s commitment to addressing its population’s diverse home care needs.
