Canada’s Interim Pathway for Caregivers has now closed, ending an opportunity for certain qualified candidates to apply for Canadian permanent residence.
The window of opportunity expired on June 4, 2019, after opening on March 4.
It provided a chance for candidates who came to Canada expecting to qualify to remain here permanently, but then found out they did not, to apply for permanent residence.
According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, the pathway was designed to mitigate some of the confusion caused when changes were made to the caregiver system in 2014 under the previous Conservative government.
The Interim Pathway for Caregivers is separate from the Home Child Care Provider Pilot and the Home Support Worker Pilot.
These will replace the existing Caring for Children and Caring for People with High Medical Needs programs when they expire in November 2019.
The Home Child Care Provider Pilot and the Home Support Worker Pilot will have a maximum of 2,750 principal applicants each, for a total of 5,500 principal applicants, per year. Spouses/common-law partners and dependent children will not count against the limit.
