HCW · CARE OCCUPATIONS
Care work built Canada's homes.
It can build your PR too.
Canada's home care worker pathways create permanent residence routes for child care providers and home support workers - occupations that have historically been shut out of points-based systems.
THE LANDSCAPE
What's actually
happening right now.
A quick read of the policy weather before we open your file - so the strategy fits the ground you're standing on.
Home care pathways run in two streams: child care, and home support for seniors and people with disabilities. Both accept modest language levels and a single year of relevant experience, which makes them accessible to workers already caring for Canadian families.
The difficulty is evidentiary. Care work is often informal, paid irregularly, and poorly documented. Winning these files means reconstructing a verifiable employment history from pay records, contracts, letters, and third-party confirmation.
HOW WE WORK
Four phases. No handoffs.
Experience audit
We map every period of care work you have done and identify what can actually be evidenced.
001Employer & offer review
Offer terms, wage, and hours reviewed against programme requirements, including private-household employers.
002Evidence build
Reference letters, pay records, contracts, and supporting declarations assembled into a file that withstands verification.
003PR filing & follow-up
Permanent residence application filed and managed, including medicals, police certificates, and any document requests.
004WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHERE FILES FAIL
The three pitfalls we see most.
Cash-paid work with no records
Unrecorded care work is real work, but without documentation it does not count. We start reconstructing early.
Duties that don't match the NOC
Cleaning-heavy roles labelled as caregiving frequently fail the occupational assessment.
Assuming any employer qualifies
Private households can sponsor care workers, but the offer has to meet specific wage and hour conditions.
QUESTIONS WE GET
Straight answers.
Do I need experience in Canada?+
No. Qualifying experience gained abroad can be accepted, provided it is properly documented.
Can I bring my family?+
Yes. Spouses and dependent children are included in the permanent residence application.
Can a family hire me directly?+
Yes. Private households are recognised employers for home care pathways when the offer meets programme conditions.
