Home Care Worker Immigration Pilots
Due to an aging population, demand for Home Care Workers is growing in Canada. To address the demand for caregivers, Canadian government has announced Home Care Worker Immigration Pilots. These Pilots are designed to streamline the immigration process for Home Care Worker.
The two new programs are:
- Home Care Worker Immigration (Child Care) Class
- Home Care Worker Immigration (Home Support) Class
These programs replace the outgoing Home Child Care Provider and Home Support Worker Pilots and are part of Canada’s efforts to meet increasing demand for in-home care while offering permanent residence pathways to essential workers.

Applicants must qualify either under Stream A or Stream B. The Two Streams have slightly different eligibility requirements.

Follow these simple steps when choosing your immigration representative to reduce your risk of refusal, be inadmissible to Canada for five years, becoming a victim of an immigration fraud and losing your money:
- Is your representative licensed? Whenever you hire a representative to communicate with IRCC, Canadian High Commission, Consulate General of Canada, Government of Canada, PNP office or Service Canada on your behalf, check his /her credentials by asking him/ her to provide you with his/ her membership number and verify his/ her good standing with the regulatory body.
-
Ask the company who is authorized representatives in the company, check his/ her credentials and only take consultation / advice from him/her. Authorized representatives are only individuals not companies. Make sure you are taking advice of the expert authorized consultant not the company staff. You are paying immigration expert advice like doctor or lawyer who has expert knowledge, training and authorization to give you advice. You are not paying consultation fee for the doctor staff or lawyer staff. You are paying fee for expert advice and representation by authorized consultant. Take advice directly from expert authorized consultant not from company staff.
If the company or person that you are about to hire does not provide you with this information, there is a high possibility that they are un-authorized representatives and you put yourself at risk of being scammed. - Does your representative guarantee 100% success of your application without reviewing all details of your case? He/ she might not be honest with you and should not be trusted. Every single case is different and it is impossible to know your chances without thorough analysis.
- Does your representative ask you to pay a “sign-up fee” without telling you what exactly he/ she’ll do for you? Then he/ she will probably do nothing and you will never see your money again.
- Is his/ her fee much lower than the market price for that service? Be alert as there is probably a reason for this significant price difference – whether it is poor service or high hidden fees. You might initially save few thousand rupees but may end up paying double/triple the market price before the process is over.
- Does your immigration representative claim he/ she has “connections” to immigration officers that will guarantee the success of your application? You can be sure he/ she is lying to you.
