I think the job is under Institutional aide but it is kinda vague. It was called Essential Worker for Covid-19 at the hiring time. Thank you for answer Nelan, it is greatly appreciated.
You should contact your employer and ask for clarification. Many of these jobs require some training so if you don’t have the training that can be rules out. You also seem to have started working after covid started so your start date will also affect whether you qualify.

I think no form is posted on cic web site .
They will demand the completion of 120 hours in total as a front line health care workers. Very soon you will see the forms and other formalities to be completed on the web site .Your employer will contact you as the instructions has been issued to the Lawyers . One should contact the lawyer in this regard .

I did talk to my lawyer, but he’s got nothing more than what we already know. Is there any progress regarding this matter?

Yea
The government will update in this month perhaps after 23 September.
Did you have completed 6months of working experience before 23 sept?

I think there has been a lot of confusion.
There are so many people who worked during the pandemic and are still working.

Like the courier driver delivering the PPE.
People working in the grocery stores
Bus drivers.
People cleaning and sanitizing the bus station and the subways.

All these people are also frontline workers.

They may have been working , but they don’t fall into the parameters of the Government announcement

“Under this measure, asylum claimants across the country who are working on the front lines providing direct care to patients in health-care institutions will be able to apply for permanent residency if they meet the criteria.”

Providing direct care to patients in healthcare institutions

You can’t please everyone

Only those in certain healthcare jobs are able to qualify for the special PR program. Unfortunately the other people will have to get approved/refused through the normal asylum hearing process.
