The interim
Canada PR route for Caregivers is now open to applications from qualified in-home provisional overseas
worker caregivers. These must have arrived in Canada after 30 November
2014.
The interim
Canada PR route will be open until 4
June 2019. There is no cap on the number of applications that will be
accepted. This was announced by the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
Canada.
The provisional
route for Caregivers responds to concerns highlighted by some caregivers, said
IRCC. These had arrived in Canada under 2 pilot programs. They are Caring for People with High Medical
Needs or Caring for Children. These had arrived after 30 November 2014 and
were not eligible for Canada PR, as quoted by the CIC News.

Foreign Worker Program in Canada. This matches the original list of main duties
and description for National
Occupational Classification Group 4412 or 4411.
