Canada issued permanent residence to 2,065 caregivers in 2020
According to official data by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), in the first half of 2020, Canada admitted 2,065 caregivers as permanent residents to the country. The number of immigrant caregivers has significantly dropped this year due to the pandemic of the COVID-19. For instance, last year Canada welcomed 9,800 caregivers through, while in 2018, the IRCC granted permanent residence to 17,815 caregivers. Foreign nationals working as caregivers in Canada can obtain a PR status via the Home Support Worker and Home Child Care Provider pilots. Those pilots also allow caregivers to bring their family members to Canada.
