In the last 36 months, you’ve worked full-time as a caregiver in Canada for a total of 24 months or more.
About the process
If you already have 24 months of qualifying work experience, you and your family members may be eligible to apply for permanent residence through the Home Child Care Provider Pilot or the Home Support Worker Pilot. When you apply, you need to include documents to prove you have enough qualifying work experience.

For this work experience:

- you must show that your job matched the NOC job description and you must have done most of the main duties
- your 24 months of work experience must be gained in a 36-month period
