Canada’s New Caregiver Program

Canada's New Caregiver Program

Announced in June 2019

 

 

Please note that applicants within Canada may still need to apply for an LMIA:

LMIA (short for Labour Market Impact Assessment) is a labour market verification process whereby Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) assesses an offer of employment to ensure that the employment of a temporary foreign worker will not have a negative impact on the Canadian labour market.

Employers are required to do to extensive advertising for a minimum of four weeks to ensure Canadians have first access to available jobs. Employers also need to provide a variety of information about the position for which they want to hire a temporary foreign worker, including the number of Canadians who applied for the position, the number of Canadians who were interviewed, and detailed explanations for why the Canadian workers considered were not hired

If you need help, have questions or don't want to tackle this yourself we can help you all the way. Tel: 1.800.820.8308

How does it work?

What is the new Caregiver Program announced in June 2019?

All Employers who want to hire an overseas in-home caregiver must hire them through these 2 pilot programs.

New Caregiver Program

If a temporary foreign worker (TFW) is in Canada, they must submit the Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) application along with all the required supporting documentation to Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC)/Service Canada. In essence, employers are applying for an opinion on the impact that hiring a TFW would have on Canada's job market. Employers are required to advertise the position to ensure Canadians have first access to available jobs.

What are the main requirements to be eligible under the new Caregiver Program?
1.) Language levels: You need to prove you met the minimum language skills IELTS - 5 in all language skills 2.) Education: You must have a completed post-secondary education credential of at least 1 year in Canada. If you don't have a Canadian education, you need to get your foreign Education Credential assessed to show that is equal to a completed Canadian post-secondary education. 3.) You have  a genuine and valid job offer 4.) You must be able to do the job 5.) You must be admissible to Canada 6.) You plan to live outside the province of Quebec as a permanent resident  
Does a caregiver/temporary foreign worker, in Canada, require an LMIA ?

A caregiver/temporary foreign worker, who is already in Canada, will still require a new LMIA  when changing employers. The caregiver  must additionally submit a work permit renewal application before her work permit expires. If you're employing a caregiver you must also file a new LMIA in order for your caregiver to renew her work permit.
