Feb 9, 2018 – Canada's federal government has indicated it will end the permanent residence pathway under the foreign caregiver program in 2019.
Caregivers who have not accrued two years of experience in Canada by November 29, 2019 will not be eligible for permanent residence, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada says.
This is the date five-year pilot programs for foreign workers caring for children and adults with high medical needs come to an end. The government is yet to decide what it will do with the caregiver programs after this date, leaving many in limbo.
