Why you don’t read it carefully . It says ‘for the duration of new pilot ‘ it means you can apply in two new pilot programs. They will NOT issue any work permit in old pilot programs
[/QUOT
OLD
pilot program never existed for caregiver and home suport program.
Pilot means that they lunched program for trial for 5 years and exchange old program for the NEW PILOT program.
Yes, you can apply to the both of new pilots that is not a question at all until the cap is riched.
They will announced on this page

when the cap is reached, but anyways now is August and even the cap is reached it starts 2nd year of trial pilot program in june 18th, 2020.
They stopped to accept applications for OLD program the same second when they released NEW PILOT.
The second thing.
Its clear says:
The Department has stopped processing new work permit applications in the two pilot occupations for the duration of the new pilots.
This means they will no processing NEW work permits in the TWO PILOT programs for the duration of the NEW PILOTS.
