6,000 Immigrant Caregivers Targeted By Canada By The End Of This Year

The healthcare industry is one of the top industries in the world right now that is experiencing a whole lot of pressure. Healthcare workers are doing a lot of work nowadays because of the pandemic. And for countries like Canada that have an aging population and fewer people in the workforce, getting help from immigrant workers who specialize in healthcare is the best solution for them in the meantime. For years, Canada has been bringing in immigrants to help out and nowadays, there is an even greater need for such professionals.

 

One of the healthcare professionals that Canada needs nowadays are caregivers and that is why the government is doing the best that it can to be able to bring in the needed individuals. There are a lot of applications coming in for permanent residency visas and Canadian immigration has stated that it is working hard to go through all of them and award a total of 6,000 permanent residence visas by the end of this year.

 

Work done by the IRCC

 

Last April 14, the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (also known as the IRCC) had stated that applications of potential immigrants who are caregivers would be processed and then finalized. These individuals are those who have already completed all of their work experience in the country. Aside from that, the IRCC also said that it would be finalizing the applications for permanent residency visas of the caregivers’ immediate family members.

 

Aside from that, the IRCC also mentioned that it would be working on applications and making decisions for the first stage of application for a minimum of 1,500 interested individuals. This would be for the pilot programs known as Home Support Worker and Home Child Care Provider. Their goal for this one would be by June 30 of this year. This would mean that there would definitely be more healthcare professionals in Canada who would be granted permanent residency visas so that they can continuously help in the healthcare industry in the country.

 

Keeping families together

 

According to Marco Mendicino, the minister for immigration of Canada, many people have been working hard to be able to go to the country and become a caregiver. They do their best to care for the families and the elders in Canada. However, it is a good thing that the country understands that most often than not, these caregivers often have to be separated from their families who are left in their home country. Canada understands the importance of being with family and that is why it is working hard to make sure that these important immigrant workers in the healthcare industry get the chance to be with their loved ones in the country.
