This new Canadian immigration program [caregivers] is being heavily promoted by recruiters. Here’s why that’s causing concern

As always, recruiters see a business opportunity, taking advantage of desperate migrants:
It’s bound to be one of the most appealing immigration programs for earning permanent residence in Canada.
The requirements, released to date, appear simple:
- Basic English skills at Canadian Language Benchmark Level 4 to understand instructions and have a conversation;
- The equivalent of a Canadian high school diploma;
- Recent and relevant work experience; and
- A full-time home care job offer.
However, while the home care worker immigration program, which the government promised would “improve support” for migrant caregivers, is still awaiting details, recruiters are stepping up to take on applicants to fill the spots, with some promising to connect them with employers.
Advocates fear that predatory agents are going to take advantage of migrants desperate for permanent residence, and the money could be all for naught when the rules are unclear and misinformation abounds….
