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 applicants 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

Ability to communicate in English or French
language. For this, they will need to take an

4411 i.e. Home Child Care Providers A valid offer
of employment from a Canadian employer. Quebec
Exception With respect to the Quebec province in
Canada, the Home Child Care Provider doesnt
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 The first step is checking the
eligibility which entails ensuring the applicant
has the required educational qualification and
language proficiency. The applicant must secure
an official letter of employment from a Canadian
employer, offering employment as a home child
care provider. Once they receive the job offer,
an application for a work permit is submitted
along with the permanent residence
application. If the applicant meets the
eligibility criteria, they will be issued a work
permit. The work permit issued under the program
is valid for three years and the candidate will
be eligible to become a permanent residence after
working for two years on the permit. In case, the
applicant already has two years of eligible work
experience in Canada, they can straightaway apply
for permanent residence.
