Home Child Care Provider Program is an initiative by the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that offers an easy pathway to permanent residence in Canada to in-home child caregivers. Examples of such jobs are – babysitter, live-in caregiver, nanny, governess, etc. Notably, it does not include foster parents.
The program which was launched in June 2019, accepts a limited number of applications, capped at 2750 at the moment. The program allows the applicant to apply for a work permit and permanent residence at the same time. Once the applicant has two years of eligible work experience in Canada, they can transition to permanent residence easily. The program allows the applicant’s immediate family members to accompany them to Canada to work or study while the applicant accumulates the minimum required work experience to become a permanent resident. The work permit that is granted under the program is an occupation-restricted open work permit. Such a permit allows the holder to work only in the occupation listed on the work permit, however for any employer. Eligibility Criteria The applicant must meet the following eligibility criteria to become a permanent resident under the program:
With respect to the Quebec province in Canada, the Home Child Care Provider doesn’t apply to caregivers who wish to work in the province. For a foreign national willing to work in Quebec as an in-home caregiver, their employer will need to hire them through the Temporary Worker Program and must apply for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). Application Process
Processing Time It can take up to 12 months for the application to be processed under the program.
