HOME CHILD CARE PROVIDER PILOT AND HOME SUPPORT WORKER PILOT

You may be eligible to apply for the Home Child Care Provider Pilot or Home Support Worker Pilot, if you:

• have a genuine and valid job offer
• are able to do the job
• meet the language level
• meet the education requirement
• are admissible to Canada
• plan to live outside the province of Quebec as a permanent resident

To finish getting the work experience you need for permanent residence through the Home Child Care Provider or Home Support Worker Pilot, you need a genuine and valid job offer. The job you’re offered must be:

• full-time, which means at least 30 hours of paid work each week
• from a Canadian employer
• outside the province of Quebec
• from an employer who’s not an embassy, high commission or consulate
• genuine, meaning there’s a real need to hire you

The job you’re offered must be in the National Occupational Classification (NOC) job that matches the pilot you apply for:

Home child-care provider (NOC 4411)

• You must care for children under the age of 18 in your own home or in your employer’s home
• You don’t need to live in your employer’s home to qualify
• Experience as a foster parent doesn’t count

Home support worker (NOC 4412)

• You must care for someone who needs help from a home support worker either in your own home or in your employer’s home
• You don’t need to live in your employer’s home to qualify
• Only home support workers are eligible under NOC 4412
• Experience as a housekeeper doesn’t count

Immigration will use any past experience or training you have to decide if you’re able to do the work described in the NOC job description (lead statement).

You must have a completed post-secondary education credential of at least one year in Canada or outside Canada.
