The Canadian Federal and Provincial Governments are constantly developing new pilot immigration pathways to meet changing industry, economic and policy needs. Some pilot programs become part of the main immigration pathways for foreign nationals seeking to immigrate to Canada. Often, these pilot immigration pathways are open for a limited time, so it is vital to be aware of these pathways and submit your application as soon as possible if you’re eligible.

To address the acute shortage of home and personal caregivers resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Canadian Federal and Provincial governments have created different pilot immigration pathways to enable foreign health workers’ immigration to Canada. The HSW (Home Support Worker) immigration pathway is one of such pilot program.
