Candidates who are eligible for Canada’s Interim Pathway for Caregivers have access to an open work permit while their applications are processed.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada guidelines state that applicants with a ‘positive eligibility assessment’ under the IPC are eligible for an open work permit until their permanent residence application is finalized.
Family members of the applicant who are in Canada are also eligible for the open work permit.

Canada To Overhaul Foreign Caregiver System With Two New Pilot Programs
Canada’s new caregiver permanent residence pathway opened for three months on March 4, 2019, aimed at candidates who do not qualify under existing programs.
The Interim Pathway for Caregivers is open until June 4, 2019.
It provides a window of opportunity for candidates who came to Canada expecting to qualify to remain here permanently, but then found out they did not.
According to IRCC, the pathway is 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.
Candidates must meet the following criteria:
All applications for permanent residence under the Interim Pathway for Caregivers must be submitted to the Case Processing Centre in Edmonton.
There is no cap on the number of complete applications IRCC will accept under the Interim Pathway for Caregivers. IRCC will only accept and process complete applications submitted from March 4, 2019, to June 4, 2019.
