+Home Child Care Provider Pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot

+ + + +
+
+ + + + +
+

The Home Child Care Provider Pilot and the Home Support Worker Pilot are 5-year pilot programs that let qualified caregivers and their family members come to Canada with the goal of becoming permanent residents.

+

If you’ve been offered a job in Canada as a caregiver or have experience working in Canada as a caregiver, you may be able to apply for permanent residence through one of these pilots.

+

The application process will be different depending on your situation and how much qualifying work experience you have.

Qualifying work experience

+

Qualifying work experience means you’ve worked full-time in Canada in 1 of these National Occupational Classification (NOC) jobs:

+ + + +
+
+ + + + +
+

National Occupational Classification 2021

+

On November 16, 2022, we switched to the 2021 version of the National Occupational Classification (NOC).

+

If you submitted an application before November 16, 2022, your job offer or qualifying work experience will still be assessed as per the NOC 2016 requirements.

+
    +
  • Home child care provider – NOC 4411 was replaced with NOC 44100
    • +
  • Home support worker – NOC 4412 was replaced with NOC 44101
    • +
+

Transition to NOC 2021

+

If you are applying under NOC 2021 in the Gaining experience category, we will still accept NOC 2016 job offers during the transition period. Your job offer will be considered valid so long as it meets the listed eligibility criteria of the Home Child Care Provider Pilot or Home Support Worker Pilot.
