IRCC’s Home Care Worker Immigration Pilots, launching March 31, 2025, offer a Direct PR Pathway for caregivers with relaxed rules, simplifying permanent residency in Canada — consult Liberty Immigration in Surrey, BC, for expert guidance.


What’s New with the HCWP?

Launching on March 31, 2025, the HCWP introduces two LMIA-exempt immigration streams to simplify the process:

  • Workers in Canada: Starts March 31, 2025—ideal for caregivers already in the country.
  • Applicants Not in Canada: Opens later; stay tuned for IRCC announcements.

Unlike previous caregiver pilots, this program offers a single-step PR pathway, eliminating unnecessary hurdles. It’s packed with benefits, including reduced requirements and flexible job options, making it a game-changer for caregivers and their families.


New Canada Home Care Worker PR Pathway Eligibility 2025

IRCC has lowered the eligibility threshold to welcome more home care workers. Here’s what you’ll need, as outlined by Liberty’s RCIC experts:

  • Language Skills: Achieve Level 4 in Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) or Niveaux de Compétence Linguistique Canadiens (NCLC)—a manageable standard for most.
  • Education: A high school diploma (or equivalent) is sufficient—no advanced degrees required.
  • Experience: Demonstrate 6 months of recent, relevant home care work or hold a related training credential. No Canadian experience is needed!
  • Job Offer: Secure a full-time job offer in home care (outside Quebec) from employers like private households, home health providers, or direct care agencies. Recruitment agencies don’t qualify.

Best of all, this pathway requires no Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), streamlining your journey to PR.


Flexible Work Options

The HCWP offers diverse job opportunities, allowing caregivers to thrive where they’re needed most. You could work with:

  • Private families caring for children or seniors.
  • Home health care services for short-term recovery or ongoing support.
  • Pediatric care providers or residential personal care settings.

This flexibility opens doors to stable employment and long-term residency in Canada, meeting the growing demand for home care with a projected $4.8 billion industry by 2030.


A Fresh Start for Everyone

This program is inclusive, offering new opportunities for various groups:

  • Past Applicants: If you applied to the former Home Child Care Provider or Home Support Worker Pilots (closed June 17, 2024), IRCC is still processing those applications. If you’ve gained enough experience, submit your proof to transition to the HCWP.
  • Newcomers: Never applied before? The HCWP could be your perfect entry point to Canada.
  • Undocumented Workers: Home care workers without status in Canada may qualify under a special public policy—spots are limited, so act quickly.

Liberty Immigration’s RCICs can help you navigate these options, ensuring you meet all requirements seamlessly.


How to Prepare with Liberty’s Help

With the HCWP launching on March 31, 2025, now’s the time to act. Liberty Immigration Services Corp. is here to guide you every step of the way:

  • If You’re in Canada: Take a language test (English or French), have your high school diploma assessed, and secure a job offer. Our team can assist with document preparation and application strategies.
  • If You’re Abroad: Wait for IRCC’s update on the “Not in Canada” stream, but start gathering documents now. Liberty can provide pre-arrival consultations to position you for success.
