How Can a Caregiver Move to Canada


INTRODUCTION

 As a caregiver, you can work in any of these categories: babysitter, nanny, child-care live-in, child-care provider in a private home, parent’s helper, family caregiver, home support worker, attendant for people with disabilities, live-in caregiver for seniors, respite worker, housekeeper, personal aide as home support, etc.

Having helped many  relocate to Canada, I have decided to create the most comprehensive step-by-step guide on how to move to Canada  as a Caregiver.


Moving to Canada as a caregiver is possible through several immigration pathways. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process:

1. Understand Canada’s Caregiver Immigration Programs

Canada has two main programs for caregivers:

  • Home Child Care Provider Pilot (HCCPP)

  • Home Support Worker Pilot (HSWP)

Both programs offer a pathway to permanent residence, but you need a valid job offer before applying.

2. Check If You Qualify

To be eligible, you typically need:

 ✅ A valid job offer from a Canadian employer
✅ At least one year of experience as a caregiver (either home child care or home support work)
CLB Level 5 in English or French (IELTS: Reading 4.0, Writing 5.0, Listening 5.0, Speaking 5.0)
✅ A Canadian high school diploma or an equivalent foreign credential (you may need an Educational Credential Assessment - ECA)
✅ The ability to perform caregiver duties

3. Get a Job Offer

Your employer must:

  • Provide a full-time, non-seasonal job

  • Meet employment conditions as per Canadian labor laws

  • Give you a signed job offer letter

🔹 Where to Find Jobs?
Check platforms like:

4. Apply for a Work Permit or PR

If you have less than 24 months of caregiver experience in Canada, you apply for a work permit first.
If you already have 24 months of work experience in Canada, you can apply for permanent residency directly.

5. Submit Your Application

  • Apply online via the IRCC website

  • Pay the processing fee (around $1,085 CAD for PR applications)

6. Move to Canada

Once approved, you will receive a work permit or permanent residence confirmation and can start working in Canada.
