Canada to Reduce Work Experience Requirements For Caregivers & Provide Pathways to Permanent Resident
For decades, caregivers from abroad have
played an invaluable role in supporting families in Canada. In recognizing
their immense sacrifices, Canada has offered pathways to permanent residence in
return.
On behalf of the Honourable Sean Fraser,
Minister of Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship, members of Parliament
Salma Zahid and Rechie Valdez today announced that the amount of work
experience in Canada required for a caregiver to qualify for permanent
residence is being reduced from 24 months to 12 months. In addition, some
spaces under the existing caregiver pathways have been reserved for caregivers
who already have work experience in Canada from previous work permits that they
are able to apply for permanent residence. The change will be effective as of
April 30, 2023 and will be retrospective for caregivers who have already
applied.
As a result, caregivers and their families
will benefit from a faster path to permanent residence and successfull settlement in Canada. By reducing the amount of work experience required in
Canada. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada(IRCC) also intends to
improve processing and applications. This update is expected to benefit around
90% of applications currently in processing, an advantage for both the
caregivers who are just starting out and those who have been providing care in
Canada already.
As we approach the end date of the existing
caregiver programs, we will continue to make any necessary changes to show our
appreciation to the caregivers who help reduce some of the stress in the lives
of Canadian families in need. Work is underway on the future of caregiver
programming to plan for what comes next after the pilots conclude in 2024.
