Can you provide link and for what program? Are you working in Canada as a caregiver now for qualifying work experience?

There is no program for caregivers as it was closed in June 2024. No new program has been announced with requirements.

Kindly check under qualifying work exp of HCCP..
Where does it say that caring for your own children counts? Can you quote that exact section?

Kindly check under qualifying work exp of HCCP..
If you are referring to the statement below, this does not mean caring for your own children. This means being paid to take care of other people's children out of your own home.

- You must have cared for children in your own home or in your employer’s private home.

There is no program that has been announced to open in January. It was just a press release to say that there is a change in requirements. Caring for own children is not counted as experience. The link refers to you taking care of other people’s children in your home.

Do you have any idea how much time they give between announcing the program and the applications historically? Many consultants are saying that they will take applications on 1st Jan 2025

This is truly amazing "caring for own children as work experience"... And people wonder how Canada got to where it is today. Lol

In OP's defense, I would read caring at home as caring for own children too.

Hi everyone, would appreciate if anyone can please explain some few things to me .
I would like to apply for Home childcare provider pilot program that is if it opens again next year 2025. But I do not know how payment of the application is made after applying. Please is there a link on payment and does the payment process take time?
Secondly, while filling for a police clearance check for Home childcare provider, there is a part that ask reason for traveling to Canada, am I to choose residency or employment? Finally; I quite don't understand how to arrange the requested documents for the application. Should every document be in one folder or should document be sent individually or as a folder, would appreciate a response. Thank you

What application and paypment? The program was closed and a new program has not even been announced so not sure what you mean by requested documents and how to pay. It will all be included in any announcement with eligibility requirements.

Hi,
I understand it is closed, I'm just staying positive and hopeful that a new one opens next year .
But was advised by a friend to get my documents ready as the program fills up in less than 4 hours. SoI started digesting the required documents and filling out some of the forms. But at some point I got stuck as I do not know or understand some things . Hence my post
