What is the condition of the Homecare Worker Pilot Program?
The best thing about this pilot program launched to give permanent residents is that this does not require the Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) certificate. If you want PR through this program, then only you should have a job offer through a sponsor. By caretaker we mean nurse -like position. (Freepik)
How many people will be given permanent residents?
According to IRCC, about 10,920 new people will be placed for a period of 2025-2027 under the Federal Economic Pilot category. It has not been told yet how many people will be given to the Home Care Worker program, but the experts say that this number will be doubled compared to the previous program. Earlier, 5500 people were given permanent residents among the programs that have been launched by abolishing this new program. (Freepik)

Why was the Homecare Immigration Pilot Program started?
Although Canada had announced the Homecare Immigration Pilot Program only last year, but its conditions have not been mentioned in the details yet. Applications under the program will be accepted from 31 March this year. This program has been started because the demand for healthcare service is increasing, which is under pressure on the government. This program will be able to bring new nurses and careers, which will be able to take care of the people. The old population in Canada is also a reason for starting the program. (Freepik)
