Home Child Care Provider Pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot

We’re still accepting applications under the Home Child Care Provider Pilot or Home Support Worker Pilots. You may be able to apply for permanent residence through these pilots if you:

• meet the eligibility requirements, and
• have a job offer to work in one of these occupations

Through these pilots, you’ll get an open work permit to come to Canada and work temporarily. This work permit:

• is occupation-restricted (so you have to work in that specific occupation)
• doesn’t need a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)
• lets you get the work experience you need to be eligible for permanent residence

If you recently worked as a home child care provider or support worker, your experience may count towards your eligibility for permanent residence.
