  • Caregivers are not bound to work for that particular employer or place once they get their work permits. They are free to work for any or as many employers or locations as they want to.
  • Caregivers can work with multiple employers in the same NOC and if they obtained a work permit under NOC 44 12 HSWP for the caring of patients with medical needs, they can work with multiple employers in the same NOC to qualify for permanent residence in Canada.
  • The whole family like children and spouses can come to Canada alongside the principal applicant even at the work permit stage and later could be part of the application for permanent residency while living in Canada.

Our Approach

How We Can Help?

  • This program seems to look easy and simple, but in reality, it’s not. The program is exempt from the LMIA process and hence, an employer has to ensure that they meet the program’s need to extend the job offer to foreign nationals.
  • No work experience is needed and hence, it becomes a challenge to show HOW the candidate would be capable to work in Canada as a caregiver.
  • Through a deep assessment, Waves Immigration will help you to decide whether a candidate and their employer will meet the requirements or not.
  • We will assist you throughout the process by preparing and submitting your work permit and applications for permanent residency.
