The new program requires:
- 1 year post secondary education
- job offer from employer
- CLB 5
- admissibility
As you can see, the new program has very low requirements which means many can qualify. I work in an immigration company here in Canada and as early as last year, we already have over 300 clients who qualifies and have already started working on procuring their documents. You have to be quick because CIC will only accept 5500 applications per year (2750 for nanny + 2750 for people with high medical needs). When the cap is met, the program will close and reopen again the following year. But i think it will get tougher every year because every year more and more people will be ready. So, be quick!

They will ask for it. If you read the guide I think it says you can send it later but it might cause delay in your application. Check the guide to be sure. But I'm pretty sure it says that..
If you are qualified and have the supporting documents ready, apply immediately because there is a cap of 2750/stream. The program says that the work permit processing will take 12 months.. your kid will be almost 1 year old by then.
Hello.
Does one need to have specific experience or education in order to be eligible under home care giver program?
Or do anyone can apply, provided they have a job offer, an eca, plus CLB 5?

Nothing is specified as to what constitutes to qualified experience or education. It is safe to assume that courses and experiences related to caregiving would help the application to be stronger rather than an application where the education or experience is not related to caregiving.

Thank you so much for you reply! Mich appreciated.
I have another query, if you don't mind.
For home child caregiver program, what is the maximum age of the child, for which a caregiver's services are to be hired? Is it 12 or 18? Can someone with children aged 12+ hire a caregiver through this program? If yes, is that subject to any conditions?
