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.
The cap for 2021 has been reached and the program is closed for 2021. New applications will not be processed. The pilot will reopen to new applications on January 1, 2022. Caregivers who are already in Canada could also have the opportunity to apply for permanent residence through the recently announced temporary residence to permanent residence pathway for essential workers. The Home Support Worker Pilot has not reached its cap for 2021 and is still open.
