Caregiver

Canada’s Caregiver Program allows qualified caregivers to come and work in Canada, providing essential care to children, the elderly, or individuals with medical needs. Hope Immigration is here to guide caregivers and Canadian employers through the process, ensuring a smooth transition for both parties.

What is the Caregiver Program?

The Caregiver Program allows foreign workers to apply for work permits to provide in-home care for Canadian families. Whether you’re seeking to become a live-in or live-out caregiver for children, seniors, or those with high medical needs, we help you navigate the steps required to secure employment and obtain a valid work permit.

Who Can Apply?

To apply as a caregiver in Canada, you must:

  • Have a valid job offer from a Canadian employer
  • Meet education and language proficiency requirements
  • Have relevant work experience in caregiving
  • Meet health and security requirements, including medical exams and police clearances

At Hope Immigration, we assist caregivers in understanding these requirements, preparing documents, and submitting applications to maximize approval chances.

Types of Caregiver Work Permits

  1. Home Child Care Provider: Caregivers who care for children under the age of 18 in a home setting can apply under this category.
  2. Home Support Worker: Caregivers who provide personal care and support for seniors or individuals with disabilities may apply under this category.

Both categories can lead to permanent residency after two years of qualified work experience in Canada.

How to Apply for a Caregiver Work Permit

Applying for a caregiver work permit involves multiple steps, and we’re here to help at every stage:

  1. Get a Job Offer: We assist caregivers in connecting with Canadian employers and securing valid job offers.
  2. Submit Work Permit Application: We help gather the necessary documents, including proof of work experience, education, and language skills, and submit your application.
  3. Arrive and Work in Canada: After your application is approved, we guide you through the final steps to begin your work in Canada, ensuring a smooth transition.

For Employers: Hiring a Caregiver

If you’re a Canadian employer looking to hire a caregiver, Hope Immigration can assist with:

  • Job Offer Preparation: Ensuring the job offer meets immigration requirements
  • Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA): Helping employers navigate the LMIA process, which proves the need to hire a foreign worker.
  • Application Support: Assisting both the employer and caregiver in submitting the necessary documents to obtain the work permit.

Transition to Permanent Residency

The Caregiver Program offers a pathway to permanent residency for caregivers who meet the work experience requirements. After completing two years of full-time work in Canada, caregivers can apply for permanent residency, providing stability for themselves and their families.
