Why Work in Canada as a Home Childcare Worker?
There are various reasons why Canada is such a great choice to move to, however, the top reasons include:
1. Lucrative Job Opportunities
Canada has the 11th largest economy, and due to the early retirement of the working population, young professionals moving to city centres and being promoted, the Canadian labour market has taken a huge knock which currently cannot be filled by local employees. Canadian immigration has therefore implemented various immigration programs to help employers fill the need for skilled workers and make the visa application process much easier and more accessible.
2. Free Healthcare
All Canadian citizens and permanent residents have access to an excellent healthcare system. These amazing benefits are also extended to children and family members.
3. Free Public Education
Your children will have access to free public education in one of the most diverse countries in the world, right up until they graduate from Grade 12. This will also open up doors for them to enrol in one of Canada’s prestigious universities.
4. Safety and Security
Canada is ranked as the 6th safest country in the world, making it the ideal place to move to with your family or as a female immigrant. Canada is also ranked as the third-most democratic nation globally and has an extremely stable and liberal government, ranking first on the list of the most politically stable countries worldwide.
5. Supportive Expat Communities
Canada is known to be one of the most tolerant and friendliest nations in the world. It has a multitude of different cultures and religions and celebrates diversity. Canada’s largest ex-pat communities are predominantly found in Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
How to Apply for Permanent Residence Through the Home Child Care Provider Program
Your level of experience and whether or not you meet certain requirements will determine whether or not you can get permanent residence in Canada.
You will require at least 24 months of work experience of in-home childcare to children under the age of 18 before you can apply for permanent residence. You will be required to submit your work permit application with your permanent residence application. If you meet the general requirements of the pilot you will receive a temporary work permit to work in Canada, which will allow you to acquire the necessary qualifying work experience needed to apply for permanent residence.
Once you receive your open work permit, which will be occupation-restricted and allows you to work for any employer as a caregiver, and have at least 24 months of Canadian full-time work experience, you will be able to apply for permanent residence.
Your family members will also be able to immigrate to Canada with you and can submit their work or study permit applications along with yours.
