Canada’s Home Care Worker Immigration Pilot Reaches Application Limit
Canada’s Home Care Worker Immigration Pilot: Child Care (HCWP:CC) reached its application cap on March 31, 2025, the same day it opened. The program received 2,750 applications, including 150 reserved spots for out-of-status workers. This overwhelming response highlights the high demand for caregiver immigration opportunities in Canada.
Although the online application intake is now closed, at the time of writing, applications through alternate formats (including paper, braille, and large print-based applications) are still being accepted. This provides a limited chance for some applicants to submit their forms despite the cap being reached.
The program is expected to reopen next year, offering another opportunity for interested applicants. Given the rapid application intake, potential candidates should stay informed and prepare in advance.

Saskatchewan Resumes Job Offer Pathways Under Overhauled Immigration Program
As on March 27, 2025, Saskatchewan resumed accepting Job Approval Forms (JAFs) for its Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) after a temporary pause since February 18, 2025. This allows employers to continue hiring skilled foreign workers.
Key changes include sector-specific recruitment, now limited to Health, Agriculture, and Skilled Trades. Additionally, the Entrepreneur and Farm Owner pathways have been closed, and nomination caps introduced for certain industries.
