Permanent residency allows the holder and their family to preserve their rights, access public education and job opportunities, and be equal to Canadian citizens. In 2019, the Canadian government announced the launch of a new immigration program that allows caregivers for children and those with special needs to come with their families and gives them the opportunity to become permanent residents in the country. The Immigration Minister at the time said that under the program, barriers that previously prevented family members of caregivers from coming to Canada would be removed, and open work permits would be issued to their spouses in addition to study permits for their children, granting them permanent residency to demonstrate their commitment to caregivers.

In conclusion, Canada’s Caregivers Program is one of the distinguished programs aimed at attracting and recruiting global talents and expertise in the fields of health, social, and educational care. This program has provided opportunities for qualified immigrants to work and settle in Canada as caregivers, helping to meet the needs of the population and reduce the burden on the healthcare and social systems in the country. At the same time, the permanent residency granted to caregivers has allowed them to improve their living conditions and benefit from a wide range of opportunities and rights, including access to healthcare and social services, work and education rights, and equality with Canadian citizens in most aspects.
