Caregiver program

Through PGP pathway for PR. I could try to get someone from India, but how do I do that with this caregiver pathway?

Right now the caregiver pathway is closed for this year and even next year will not be open to those outside Canada. Go on the IRCC homecare pilot site and read the requirments. So once they are PR and living in Canada they will set up a business number and show income to support a FT caregiver. Look for someone within Canada to start with who meets the requirements for the program. Post the job to job sites.

Are you sure he will pass the medical? Assume you are aware that if he ends up in long term care during the first 20 years (10 years in QC) you have to pay the monthly bed fee of around 2.5k/month. Hiring someone to care for him at home will cost around $25/hr or more and at this point you’ll need to hire someone who is already able to work in Canada unless you live in QC. You will also have to pay for any medical devices he needs at home like a hospital bed for an example. These are significant expenses if he is able to pass the medical.

Processing time can also take years and it is very difficult to secure a spot so something to consider as well. Realistically hiring someone already in Canada will have to be the plan for the first few years. No matter what this will be very expensive.
