Children Caregivers: Family Members and Change Jobs

children caregivers: Current barriers that prevent caregivers' family members from coming with them to Canada will also be removed, and open work permits will be offered to their spouses and common-law partners as well as study permits for dependent children, according to CTV. Caregivers provide care to families in Canada that need it, and it's time for Canada to care for them in return, said Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen. Under the newly designed programs, caregivers will be given greater flexibility to change jobs quickly, if needed. We are providing them with both the opportunity to bring their family members here and access permanent residency to demonstrate our commitment. Once they obtain a work permit and have two years of work experience under their belts, they will have access to a direct pathway to become a permanent resident. Applicants will be assessed for permanent residence criteria before they begin working in Canada. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
