Are you sure? Even those who have applied before this public policy? I dont think it will affect those that has been submitted already because there was a public policy given out for visitors inside Canada during the pandemic who submitted their applications for caregiver programs
Home Childcare Provider Pilot 2019
- Thread starter quami
- Start date
It’s going to be effect from 22nd April . Before that all good
No, i dont think so, as it will just cause even more conflicts and confusion. I think this policy is to give way too for us who has been long waiting for results and approval. Let us stay positive. God is in control.
"Specifically, in order to pursue the maximum social, cultural and economic benefits of immigration aligned with the goals of the new caregiver permanent residence pilots, a moratorium on new caregiver temporary foreign worker intake outside Quebec is necessary to control arrivals without a clear pathway for permanent residence."
I think it means -- to REFUSE the TEMPORARY caregiver work permit applications who have no intention to be a Canadian PR and ONLY PROCESS the applications who want to be Canadian PR like us, the HCCP applicants. ^^

Hi! I wanna ask for clarification. My work permit will be expired on November this year (ircc gave me 22 months validity according to my passport’s expiry). I will complete my experience on December this year.
This month, they updated the website that I will be on maintained status because of my pending HCCP application. Right? Did I understand the website well?
Maybe, it has something to do with the recent instruction about refusing work permit to caregiver applicants. Because for me to apply for work permit extension, I have to choose TFW as the option to apply online (I’m currently under TFW caregiver). I think they will remove that option now, and the only way to extend your work permit is THRU HCCP ONLY (which I already did). So for those people who was refused and wants to extend their stay while they make an appeal, won’t have other way to get extension.

The website ? Do you mean GCKey ? If it says that, then you still have status. And also you are not a new TFW applicant, so I think you won't be affected.
No, not the gckey. The canada.ca website. They updated the information about MAINTAINED STATUS. Because last month, ircc agent told me that I still need to apply for work permit extension or else I will be deported. He told me that I am not covered by “maintained status”.
I am just afraid if I won’t apply for work permit extension, I might be deported while having 22 months experience and with ongoing HCCP work permit and PR application. So I think the website cleared that issue already. So by October, i will never do anything even if my work permit expires. I will keep on working with the same employer until ircc gives me my open work permit.
I think u need to apply for like an extension or in your case since your contract is ending, an open work permit… Cuz if u just let your permit expire without extending or applying for an open work permit regardless if u applied for PR, you might not be covered by maintained status. I’m not 100% sure why they change it to ‘maintained’ when it was referred to before as ‘implied’. I’m on maintained status since July 2020. But before my permit expired then, I submitted my BOWP application last Apr. 2020 (90 days min to date before my work permit expire) even if I already have my HCCP application in process. Yes, it might seem like it is redundant but I did it before just so I could really make sure that I will be on ‘maintained status’ (implied status then) and just to avoid the hassle cuz I know that PR application will take long time (or right now it takes forever…) also I used to have a consultant then, she did say to apply for BOWP to avail that status. But then again I might be wrong about this since I did mine last 2020. Maybe it’s better to phone IRCC and see what will they say about it..

Now I’m actually curious.. cuz I get @ProudNanny’s point… cuz our stream is actually for open work permit and then PR… when ure able to talk to an agent about this, can u enlighten us to what they tell u that u need to do? Thanks.

I cannot get a hold of any ircc agent. It always says full and hang up.
But I cannot apply YET in BOWP coz I still have to complete my 24 months experience (when my permit ends, I still have 2 months into completion before I apply for BOWP). Then for work extension, it’s only THROUGH HCCP which I already did.
https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=913&top=28
This link says that ONLY THROUGH HCCP I can apply to extend my work permit (same employer). I fit in:
>>your work permit was issued for less than 36 months because your passport was expiring, and
you now have a new passport
https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1532&top=28
This is the link that says “i am on MAINTAINED STATUS” (exclusively for HCCP applicants only). If at the time of my submission, I still have a valid work permit, it will make me on MAINTAINED STATUS just because I have a pending application. And even if I want to apply for a work permit extension, they already removed the caregiver from TFW. So I don’t have any means (now, I regret why I didn’t renew my passport right away even if it’s still more than a year validity. I forgot that they will never override the expiration of my passport).

Ok, I get what you’re saying cuz ure just working for the same employer right? It seems like it’s legit that you fall under that category… I didn’t even know that.. Anyway, I can’t remember if it’s really necessary to have 24mos. of experience when u apply for BOWP but I know that u can apply as long as u have a pending PR application, u just have to mention it and also include ur AOR. Maybe that’s an option you’d like to explore just in case u get to the end of ur permit and still no news from the PR stream..
Hi everybody!
I'm jumping into this conversation about this pilot program.
My timeline
April 2020: sent my application by mail
Mars 2021 : Sent an email to confirm they receive my application
May 2021 : my application started to be processed (they asked me to pay)
May 2021 - June 2021 : 3 emails sent to update my application (payment/form/employer letter)
July 2021 : They asked me to pay again so I sent the receipt a already sent to them
Since then no news, absolutely nothing. On my IRCC records they are waiting for additional documents but they didn't ask for any doc. Also, I called and emailed them probably 15 times since then and apparently my application is still in process and they got all the documents they required.
Anyone in the same situation? Are you guys going anywhere with this program?
I got my 24 month and I'm still working as a nanny but I have project and would like to move forward. I'm currently stuck due to my work permit linked to my job and employer (my employers are awesome so not complaining about them haha)
Since September, the little one I'm taking care of is going to school so the family don't need me anymore but it doesn't seem to be an emergency for the immigration.
What would you consider? Did they lost my application half way through processing it? I understand their are more things happening around the world that required their attention but our mental health is also fragile while we are waiting without knowing for how long!
Cheers!
