The Home Child Care Provider Pilot is closed to new applications
As of **date**, IRCC received at least 2,750
applications under this pilot. This means the pilot is closed to new applications for 2022.
IRCC will return any other applications they received late and refund the fees.
The pilot will reopen to new applications on January 1, 2023. You can also look into other options for caregivers in Canada.
Temporary work for caregivers
If you don’t meet the requirements for permanent residence as a caregiver, you may be able to work temporarily.
Apply to extend your work permit
If you’re currently working in Canada as a caregiver, you may be eligible to extend your work permit through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP).
Your employer will need to get a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) first.
Apply for a new work permit
In most cases, you can apply for a work permit to work in Canada temporarily as a caregiver through the TFWP if:
you’re in Canada and eligible to apply for a work permit from inside Canada
you’re outside Canada and your employer applied for an LMIA before June 18, 2019, or
you’ll be working in Quebec
Your employer will need to get a positive LMIA first.
