BREAKING NEWS - Caregiver PR Allocated Spots to Out of Status workers, PLUS Documents Released
Additional eligibility for out-of-status workers and previous applicants
IRCC has opened eligibility for the HCWP to home care workers in Canada who are currently out of status.
These individuals may still be eligible to apply under the HCWP due to a public policy.
A limited number of spots are available to this cohort.
In addition, some previous applicants to the Home Child Care Provider and Home Support Worker Pilots (previous home care worker immigration pathways that were closed in June 2024) may continue to apply under the old pathways.
Newcomers who applied under the previous pilots' “Gaining experience category” before June 2024, and who have now built up enough eligible work experience may send IRCC proof of their work experience under previous guidelines, to have their permanent residence (PR) application considered.
