How many caregivers does Canada plan to admit as permanent residents?

Caregivers are a recognized priority in Canada's economic immigration planning. As part of the 2024-2026 Immigration Levels Plan, the government set out to admit more than 15,000 caregivers as permanent residents. Because intake is capped, caregiver PR programs can fill quickly once they open, and spaces may be allocated across in-Canada and overseas applicants. If you are planning to apply, monitor official announcements closely so you can submit while spaces remain available.
