Canada’s New Home Care Worker Pilot Program

The Canadian federal government has launched a new Home Care Worker Pilot Program to help eligible home care workers obtain Canada PR upon arrival. The new program is to be effective from March 31, 2025 and will replace all the caregiver immigration programs that have expired.

According to the Canada Immigration Levels Plan 2025-2027, Canada is inviting 1.1 million immigrants by 2027. The department has allocated 10,920 spots for candidates under the Federal Economic Pilot programs like the Home Care Worker Program, Agri-Food Pilot, Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot, and Community Immigration Pilots.
