What is a common mistake applicants make with caregiver permanent residence programs?

A frequent error is relying on outdated information from closed programs. The Home Child Care Provider Pilot and Home Support Worker Pilot closed to new applicants on June 17, 2024, and were replaced by the Home Care Worker Immigration classes launched in 2025. Applicants sometimes use the wrong forms, cite the wrong National Occupational Classification, or miss capped intake windows. To avoid this, confirm which caregiver PR program is currently open, match your experience to the correct occupation, and prepare complete, current documentation before applying.
